Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

Actually....this is a human. They are selective on who they send pm's. They do not send them to moderators and admin, because they know they will get banned. Some of my members have responded to these pm's and this person responded back. This person use to go by the username, dharmony.

I have a few vbulletin websites, and manage a couple more. I have measures in place with my vbulletin sites that prevent spam bots from registering. I have ZERO problems with spam bots. Every once in a while, a human(such as patricia) registers and posts. Usually they use a proxy, so it is useless to ban the ip.

Spam bots only process data. This is how they beat the capcha image verification and register.

Spam bots can not think!

Why do these people think they can "spread the word" by spamming?
