Glad to see that Newbie Lon2768752 got banned on his first post


His only motivation for joining was to promote Range Rovers for sale and his add was written in terrible English. Obviousy a foreigner.

Nomad gets hit with spammers a lot. Just hit the Report button in the post to alert Doug.

I don't think it counts if a member is just continuously advertising a product they are selling every time they post. ...even if they only post 4000 times a year.(give or take) :lol:

Come on, give me a little more. Are we talking about the occasional "out of left field" post from someone we never heard of or people who have contributed useful Baja info who also have a business interest in posting on Nomads?

There's a difference between a true spam-bot like "Lon2768752" (had another just last week selling nike shoes in 3 different languages) and what is being bantered above, which really is an inside joke, just typical "Nomania". Some will find it humorous, some will be defensive, some will be offended. So what else is new? Nothing new here.
("Nomania".... new term, just made it up... whadayathink?" :light: :spingrin:)

Nomania?


Not Bajad! Maybe it will become part of the lexicon.

I have to say, I am amazed that an off topic or inappropriate post (that I never saw) can get pulled by Doug and still get this much traffic!

I would tell you guys to get as life, but here I am, right down there with you!

SPAM: unsolicited or undesired electronic messages or a Pork product (undesirable to some). Maybe this is what some refer to as "true" spam.

It's those that repeatedly post useless 'info' like ... 'take the bus' over & over.
