Hello Everyone - I was just notified that a user by the name "koffi4love" has been spamming many of you through our Private Messaging System. The message is another one of those Nigerian Money Scams. First, I want to apologize for this. Please know that we do everything we can to stop such SPAM. Please know that we stop hundreds of spammers every week on the site and once in a while they get through.

If you recieve a message like this or other SPAM, please let us know and forward me the message and author's name immediately so I can do something about it.

That said, there is no reason to be nasty to us for it. We cannot stop everyone, just as the largest corporations in the world cannot stop all of the spammers. I don't mind hearing that things like this happen, but it is not necessairy to be rude to me. You know who you are . . .

Thanks everyone for your help and understanding in this matter.

Regards,
