Hi James. Guys,

If I had wanted to join Ebay I would have – I trust that this dick is going to be chucked out.

Items for sale maybe, but inundating all the forums like this is not on.

PS anyone want to buy some size 10 safety boots and a hard hat?

I received an email from a near identical ad. Checked the originating IP and guess where it was from?………………Nigeria. Enough said.

What looks too good to be true most likely is a scam! Stay well clear of crap like that.

We’ve had pretty much the same on here before.

The OP was chucked out as soon as I got up today.

I have to say that I did not received one PM from anyone on the spammer.. so I can only act when I happen to visit the forum and see something is wrong. If someone sends me a PM I get an email telling me there is a PM waiting, I generally check pretty soon after that (if I am awake!).

regards to all – and our pet spammer 😉

Agreed!

What is the possibility of new users having to be recommended by say another user before their account can be activated. Perhaps an account can start as a read only, so that some genuine new members can read work ads and later, as they meet other members on a job or whatever they can be recommended by them. This way, we can take our frustration out on their friends, too.

James,

Appreciate your the webmaster but can you explain why you abritrarily deleted my last post?

Have you become overly sensitive lately or are you feeling your power on your little website?

I would have thought that in this tight market an operator advertsing for personnel for a long term rotational project in Australia on your website might have been treated slightly differently.

Cheers,

Joel

Didn’t see it (JW post)…. So can’t make a justifiable opinion. Perhaps it was "too radical"…..
