Who is this idiot that keeps posting this "love guru" and voodoo crap on the forums?! They started this morning then were banned...then they changed their name and started it all over again! They must have like 10 threads that are all the same bull$hit!

    This is completely irrelevant to your post but... are you sideways on a pole in your avatar???
    (because that is seriously impressive)

    ETA: I just creeped the rest of your pictures. Holy crap that looks HARD.

    I know, this has been around for months now, with multiple posts a day. Very annoying, not sure how the mods can get rid of it. They keep making minor changes and coming back.

    I agree with VTR! We don't care about the spammers (I always just immediately report the posts), but we do care about your incredible strength & flexibility!! It's so beautiful and graceful.... :flowerforyou:

    Yep. Noticed this spam a few days ago....they appear and then disappear. :grumble:
    Too bad they can't be prevented from appearing in the first place.

    spambot... some lonely soul(s) writing scripts that create fake accounts and find the forums links and blast away.

    Maybe something like recaptcha or content scanning could help cut down on those, but it's been suggested here before, and, well....

    Would be nice if they could block any accounts posting from his IP address. I notice that they seem to start posting late in the evenings, when perhaps there are not as many mods watching. I agree, they are extremely annoying.

    it's probably not a single person doing it, and if it is, they likely have a dynamic IP address.

    It's a Spambot which exploits the power-rack sized holes in MFP's appalling lack of post or IP verification.

    Hahaha! Yes, I am sideways on my pole. That is called the advanced plank or layout. Just learned this one last weekend. :) Glad you enjoy-and it is hard...but once you learn some of the basic holds and such, it's so much fun! Great strength training for upper body.

    If they just block his IP address, they would not have to deal with any of his accounts.

    And MSeel, I must say that I have pole envy, well done!


    Just one ole man's opinion ........
