Now where’s my soap box?
I have just been looking at the members list and selected Spamtwats in the group field
and looked at a few of them and they ALL show there email now I can see why they do this so lets all spam them from one group hotmail address

and why to the they always post under flags and slabs?

there look to be 2 people doing it one in the uk and one in the us it u believe what they tell you that is. can mods see people ip’s and if so can you block them for the forum? I know its no good if they are not using a sticky ip
what about one of the those boxes on the signup page that u have to type in jumbled letters and numbers? it might put them off if they have to do that every time

just my idle rant over I fell a lot better now feel free to add your rant below the more the better

god that was a bit long

....the image verification (jumbled letters/numbers) can now be overcome by automated posting bots :(

The reason all of the spamtwats have their email addresses shown is that I override their request for anonymity.

Given their fondness for attracting attention to various "enterprises", I thought they'd like to share their contact details with others of that ilk, just in case they'd like to chat. Spambots trawl message boards such as this looking for email addresses that can be listed to recieve all sorts of lurid offers. I reckon it's a public service that the spmatwats posting to the Brew Cabin should be able to receive emails from their competitors, so that they can keep an eye on their 'market'. :p

Law-abiding Brew Cabin users are safe - I NEVER reveal or disclose any email addresses for the good guys, but, if the spamtwats choose top break the rules, they really can't complain if they receive a dollop of their own medicine.
