    Dealing with forum spam.

    So I take it you have no interest in penis enlargement? Steroids? Rejuvenating skin cream?

    well... the freckle cream was tempting but i made up my mind that my life is better with freckles, a message I would like to pass on to all women(and men) spending hundreds of dollars on freckle cream.

    I managed to get a negative rep from the spammer, my first, and when the spam got killed it stayed. There was something about, "So no skin whitening cream for you fairman, your life will be sad and pointless without it" that didn't go down well. I'm heartbroken of course.

    My hair's grown back, I'm fitting into a size 10 dress, I'm better in the sack and can bench press 300 kilos, all from reading some of those ever so helpful posts, it's better than Advanced Hair Studios.

    @Jay Ekkel I can't remember from signing up here, do you have any registration "capture" software in place?
