Hello all!
This is my first time on this site.
I would like to tell what I really like the topic "Science News and Discussion".
I've been reading it for a while, and I have learned so much here.
So, I decided to try my luck asking a few questions...
How can you IM, PM or whatever you call it to certain members? .
I'd like to ask more questions about this project.
By the way, nice domain name www.kwsnforum.com.

Underneath your post you will see a PM button, click that button for the person you want to PM, find the person you want to send a message to and click the PM button, does that make sense? NAH Welcome to the silly farm and all that quackers.

Alpha, I'm not totally sure but I think this could be a spammer.

There was a spammer post not so long ago with almost exactly the wording.

You beat me to saying this Michelle, I agree. On his/her profile page, he lists Forum Admin as occupation. Sound like he is of the canned variety.

Interesting thought. I suggest we all get new screen names and put his email down as the one for the account(s). Then he would be getting a taste of his own medicine! #ni-2

Yes, this is a SPAM bot that has been visiting here frequently. Unfortunately, SPAM bots don't care how much we SPAM them back. It is a nice thought though.

What I don't get is how a bot can register. Have we got the "type in the security code letter" thingy option? I can't remember whether we have or not.

We do, but it's a weak one.
