Re: [Digital BW] Spam Posts Invasion

We are all getting hit with these SPAMERS and them "borrowing" our e- 
mail addresses. From what I can tell there is absolutely nothing we  
can do about it, as soon as somebody figures  a way to stop it they  
just find another way around it. If you look at the IPs they come  
from, they will be different each time, even though it says from the  
same e-mail address so you can not even firewall the IP. People have  
said, don't make your e-mail public but I get SPAM on one I have never  
given out or used, it was just created as a test e-mail box for me to  
use if needed.

They WIN! So lets just stock up on those pills and keep going ;)
