Fancy Spammers. They compile information from the thread/title and post something that seems related to the topic. I removed the one in Blip's thread yesterday and we have the option to remove all the "person's" posts and ban at the same time. There have been a couple that seemed almost real, with the exception of a link in their signatures for other sites/random "stuff."

If you guys see those type of posts again, just "report" the post (using the hazard sign that is underneath the username and stats) and it will notify the Mods and Admins that the post needs to be taken care of!

Thanks!

Here is one that I just reported, two spammers posted here. I would hope the entire thread would not disappear.
