Board spammers...warn newbies away somehow ??
Here at BBHF there are accounts opened again and again and again by spammers, spambots, whatever they may be - most often representing a VERY dubious site called code...x...in...h.

They mostly seem to be about spreading krappy, NULLED stuff to promote that badware site.

They often also use fake VT links, and as quickly as the management here bans them, they show up again, soon thereafter;
BUT, the worst of it looks to be=>

Newbies who are desperate to collect and DL stuff that ONLY look at the OP and then grab the stuff...

WITHOUT LOOKING FURTHER TO SEE ANY WARNINGS - and:
FAILING TO NOTICE EVEN IF THE OP WAS ALREADY BANNED !!!


This makes me wonder if there is some way the management may be able and willing to make it so that the member's nick in any search or new posts list shows something like 'BANNED USER', so that maybe it is more visible - or even better still, making those threads disappear altogether somehow ??

It shouldn't be needed to save folks from themselves, but, in keeping these silly folks from screwing up in their carelessness - it does contribute towards keeping the community here more active, especially when the poor souls would likely have ended up with malware and then maybe blaming BBHF for their own foolish carelessness.

I totally despise board spammers and spambots !!!

On another forum software, they can change all posts from banned users to something generic like “this post is by banned user”...
