Anybody else starting to get increasing numbers of spam messages from would be "no limits slaves for long term relationships" from Ghana and such places? Anything we can do about it other than just delete them? the profiles show pretty clearly these are not serious members.

You can set your mail controls to send them to bulk mail, then delete them, no way ot avoid it, I work for a company with a highly secured email system and they still sneak through.

However, I am waiting for the day when someone on here presents an actual collaring with someone from one of those countries then we will all feel stupid.

No, but the other night I did get an ad in my CM mail about "an exciting employment opportunity, seilling agricultural equipment that is distributed from Canada, but built in the UK." I kid you not!

Just another example of this site going downhill...

This seems to be a weekly topic at Cm boards so i would assume yes. There are simple ways to deal with this.

wish you luck

I just delete them when I see them. This site doesn't seem bad with spam anyways. But I've been using the internet since I was about 8 years old from the early 90's, and trust me, its always been this way and probably always will lol. Welcome to the internet?

Why would you say that? I think they are serious about separating fools from their money.
