| FORUM SPAM !!!! | February 12, 2010 @ 5:34am | Hey Everybody,
Our community is getting big enough here to where I need to address something - which is forum spam. And for now I will see if this post works.
Please make links (besides your signature) away from our site to your own site / content relevant to a question from a TME community member and or relevant to a thread about TME content. Thank you.....Craig

Are you asking us not to link to our own personal galleries by default in our signatures?
Thanks,
Clive

| February 12, 2010 @ 6:05am | Craig, so you want us to delete our website/blog urls from our signatures - and use them only if we have content on them relevant to a particular post - and then put the url into the body of our post or replies to another post?
On my own website, I do not have any way for people to comment, and I have my email address listed via a special Javascript, which the spam bots can not read, so I personally have never been spammed.
But a member who has a blog might get spammed.
Some blog hosts have spam blockers - a poster must also enter mixed up letters before posting - like Ted Byrne's blog. This also prevents spammers from getting in.

| February 12, 2010 @ 6:11am | Hey Flo and Siglov,
In my post I said "besides your signature" so I apologize if that did not make it clear.
We encourage members to share their work with each other and to include,
as part of your signature
links to your own site(s).....Craig

Oh the joys of the ambiguity of the English language!
I read "besides your signature" as "next to your signature"
It's all clear now - sorry about confusing your intention - it was very early in the morning when I read your post
Best regards,
Clive
Enjoy the Light!

| February 13, 2010 @ 7:56am | "Besides" can mean "in addition to" or "except" or "next to" and I agree that this English language is chock full of ambiguities, lol. No wonder we have difficulties communicating with each other! Sorry, Craig.
