    Banning Spammers Poll!

    I know it's the discretion of the Forum Admin. and Moderators but I'd like to know how other members feel in a poll.

    Should spammers get banned from post #1? #2? #3? Or never, spam away (I know at least one who'll vote this way)!

    I think most everyone knows you just don't join a forum and start promoting your goods and services in someone else's forum... so to come in and cloak your spamming in good intentions and NRA Life memberships is B.S. IMHO. It takes a lot of dedication, hard work and good old ca$h to build a forum like this and maintain a working web site. I say any profiteering should go to Flyer for all the hard work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears that has gone into building this forum.

    I'm a mini-mod on another forum and blatant spammers are dealt with quickly. The other spammers that come on, make a few posts, then start the subtle spamming/pimping get a warning to stop before they disappear.

    Blatant spammers should be instantly banned, but others where there is room to give them the benefit of the doubt, I say give them a warning and then if they don't abide, ban them.

    The unquestionably obvious spammer, you most likely never see here. That's how long most of them last. Others are watched on a case by case basis. Warning shots? If they make it to the third, it's usually through the heart.
