I did not see this email (as I haven't been getting the weekly or daily updates), but I think other site managers beat me to the punch in terms of deleting the offensive material. I have really been troubled lately (as the father of a 3 yr old) that so much of this unsolicited porn mail is just rammed down our throats whether we have asked for it or not. I mean it was somewhat 'okay' when you had to click on some link in the message, but now they are just putting up the images in a deliberate in-your-face attempt to generate business. It's criminal if you ask me. I think the ISPs that distribute this crap should be held accountable. I mean really. These people are emailing like EVERYONE on the planet! Surely that makes their mails somewhat suspect as junk or porn mail.

Sorry for the rant. On a seperate note I need to know WHO that user was that uploaded those images so I can put them on the banned list (before they do it again).

Cheers,
Jim

"Her" name is Emily.

And a cute little girl she was today all dressed up in her Easter dress.

Thanks,

The only thing I have been deleting from Armorama.MSN have been the Jonesy alias posts (aka Flightsimm and UnionInfantry24). I have not noticed or received any type of porn.

I saw the picture CAS is talking about (fortunately for me my wife did not) maybe the wise guy (I try to be polite) who has done this is the same who has posted 2 days ago an x-rated link on the "Tank talk" forum on Hyperscale ? There are probably not enough porn sites on the Web for him...

I have the same problem here in Australia although it has only been happening in the past 6 weeks or so.

Thankfully I didn't get the post you're speaking about although I have gotten several posts from some guy using Armorama's MSN groups page to try to sell me kits I have no interest in. One tip I would like to share with the group that I've picked up concerning spam. Don't use the "unsubscribe" link on the email. Many spammers use this as a ploy to see if the email address they have sent something to is active. In effect if they get back an unsubscribe email from somebody all it does is tell them "somebody's home" and gives them free reign to send more emails. Only reputable companies follow these unsubscribe requests and they aren't the ones you want to dump anyway.
