    Spamming posts not allowed.

    Just a short note to members, old and new. Dropping links in forum posts that are not related to the specific topic under discussion- or this forum in general - will get your posts and membership deleted. We have fought long and hard to keep this forum meaningful, helpful to those interested in speed bag training. We do allow for a certain amount of good nature "G rated" fun, but dropping non-related links to online gambling or adult rated material in these forums will get your profile and posts deleted. It got pretty bad in here for a while and participation dropped. For that reason a few of us older members will immediately report to the Administrator of the forum by posting links to that profile and having them deleted. Tim has gotten very friendly and quick to make them disappear.

    Nobody here is the internet police but if your purpose for joining and posting is to lure members to outside and non-related material. Please find another forum.

    What is the best way to report spammers to Tim? PM? Is there a report button?

      I normally send him a PM on facebook. Their profile is usually deleted in 24-48 hours. If they try to come back under other names and try again he has other methods to "nip it in the bud".

          That's a little drastic

          Only 1 in about 20 newbies are spammers. We had a rush of a few back about a year ago, and every other post had ridiculous links to all kinds of stupid stuff, leather bags (purses), loan companies, gambling sites and adult stuff etc. some cleverly disguised, others not so much.

          Anyway, if someone continually puts that stuff in a few posts, ....they're gone and I for one don't feel bad about it.

            Out of the last 20 members who posted at least once, I count 5 spammers and 2 suspicious. LayRong, paylituzu, harry56, JohnSale, andyson, BobbyV and susan3786. Some of the other recent members with 0 posts have suspicious names like admissioninfo, admissioninfo45, all part of the same spammer group, or all the same sob.

            Also, why is LayRong still posting his garbage? That's rong. So very very rong.

              Members with zero posts are not posting spam, they are just inactive. If they spam, they may disappear. As for a few of the others, they have been notified politely to stop. Some have nothing original to say, they just steal a line from someone else's post and repost it. That's not really spam, just immature.

              again, I am NOT the forum administrator. When Tim is notified of someone posting junk - he may review their posts and make his own decision. It's all up to him in the end.

                again, I am NOT a real person. But these last 5 in 20 new members are spammers: LayRong, paylituzu, harry56, JohnSale, andyson. I hereby notify the admin, because I know of no other way to do it.

                again, I am not the admin, speedbag is not the admin. In the end, thy will be done. again.

                -Rusty
                p.s. we should have a speedbag admin. speedbags are fast and good for hand-eye coordination and good cardio training. I like what you post here. keep up the good works.

                  I feel there is a need for a member that frequents the forum practically daily, to be given Super Moderator privileges in order to kick the trash to the curb as soon as it appears.

                      Well according to his last cut and paste he is a female looking to get some heavybag work in.


                      "I am a female 140 lbs looking to purchase my first heavy bag. I am a beginner so I need some suggestions of which one to buy. I want one that has a loop on the bottom for me to tie down."

                      Hilarious. LOL

                          I contacted Tim this morning about the new batch of spammers. I gave him the list Rusty compiled. He can take a look at their activity.

                          It looks like LayRong cuts and pastes and then adds inactive URLs to his posts which do not show up in the posts. He's just trying to increase traffic to these sites. But spamming nonetheless.

                          Let's hope Tim gets here soon.
