Please report signature spammers!
Hey guys,

Luckily, since we are seeing an increase in activity here at Swim Forums - the amount of spammers are decreasing.

However, we still get a decent chunk of signature spammers. You can spot these spammers because their posts are usually of very low quality English, and they have signatures with multiple links that are completely unrelated to swimming.

If you see these posts, please report them using the Report button. I will simply disable the user's signature. If they are real users, they can just PM me to get them back.

Also, please don't respond to spammers are try to get in a fight. Generally, they only come once to post, and don't come back. Trying to get into an argument with a spammer will only give me more garbage to clean up.

Thanks! Alien
