Just a heads-up for bystanders and MODS ...

When you see a new user posting in existing threads ... one words, two word comments, it is more than likely they are a spammer-to-be ... since the forum doesn't allow new users to create new threads (they need 5 posts) the spammer will start post whoring crap in existing threads like ...

"I agree"

"Great topic"

"Great stuff"

The goal is to get to 5 posts so they can create a new thread. Even if they do so, link posting is not allowed until 20 posts.

This has been a great way to sniff out the spammers. When someone posts in the intro forum "HI" and that's all, you know their objective to be here isn't to learn ... it is something else.
