spammers are back in disguise

I've seen several "new" members sign up post a 1 line message and notice that they have signatures with links to strange websites.

2 users I've seen with similar signatures are users "BALM" and "nock".

Please investigate this.

When folks start spamming, and leaving their real e-mail address - such as the 'Shoe guy' - what's wrong with signing them up for mailing lists? ;-)

I think signatures on this site should be a privilege, if you made it so that only users with over 100 posts can have signatures that would get rid of these guys.

I wrote a book with a friend of mine. My husband keeps saying it sucks. I think he's just jealous tho.

He spends a lot of time on these boards, so I told him I'm going to pick a random person here, and ask them, and we ended up betting on it.

So go to http://books.zenofeller.com/asylum/a...hapter1_b.html and make the call. Does it suck?

Thanks.
