    It's too bad we wasted our time on this jerk! My ever reliant(mostly) spammer radar is still working, though I had my suspicions about an SEO hunter even though the crud had 5 posts. I should listen to myself first and reported the sucker!

    Thanks all.:)

    Yep. Basically when they start 5 threads in 2 days with some different Audio or other software in the title, chances are....;)

    They and other nics had the exact same threads with the same wording in other forums, plus the fact they were a listed spammer...an easy decision...Delete.

    And yep...I'd prefer they are reported if there's a suspicion. The more posts they get in threads the more attention their thread gets, here and in search engines.

    I will do so from now on! Whenever I get that tingly spiderspamsense feeling.;) I never did see any of the thing's other posts. Whenever one ***-u-mes, is not a good thing.

    haha...yep augie. The spiderspamsense definitely plays a part. All I have to do anymore is look at a user name and I can generally tell it's a spammer. I'm usually right 90% of the time after checking them out. 5% of the time, I let it go because I can't find any proof....they wind up coming back with their spam. The last 5% is why if I Can't find proof, I give them the benefit of the doubt.
