|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board SPAM from SS pages Dennis Wierzbicki, Photographer Plainfield | IL | USA | Posted: 12:27 PM on 05.23.11 ->> How do we stop getting SPAM'ed from our SS member page? Once again this morning, I received an unsolicited offer of a service sent via my page. Suggestions? Thanks.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

"We have introduced a new Designer Artwork App that will allow you to resell images while working with your own platform and current lab." I received that Friday. I think you just have to delete it and go on. I don't know of any way to prevent it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Unfortunately I think Bob is right ... if you want your info available for viewing ... SPAM is the risk you take ...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The next question: does the originator of this SPAM really think it's going to bring him business (of course, this question could be asked of every cold-calling telemarketer or SPAMmer out there)?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

It's really no different than a photographer sending out a bunch of emails to likely clients. It seems there's a number of event T+I shooters on this board this offering may appeal to as an additional service/rev stream. It's not for me, not right now, but this list is a likely market for this product/service. If you're not interested, delete it. No big deal...  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Scott Trimble, Photographer Lake Oswego | OR | USA | Posted: 3:59 PM on 05.23.11 ->> on email do name at host.com instead of @. that can stop it good unless someone wants to take the time to type it in, which they usually don't.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
