I have also noticed this new spammer’s posts. The posts are advertising a different thing but they’re in the same format as Duglas’ posts, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same person, and what is being advertised is a scam.Not sure if its the same person, but there is another one, He is Belarusian i believe, under the name of "Ruslagis" He is spamming some sort of add for a company in Minsk. I have reported him as well. Anyone that has reached here has probably seen one of his posts already, he is posting ever few minutes.
Yes , he is back and now takes up 3 places on our forum.Not sure if its the same person, but there is another one, He is Belarusian i believe, under the name of "Ruslagis" He is spamming some sort of add for a company in Minsk.

I am O K with thatI have thought about it too Steve, and came up with a solution which might not be liked by many, as this forum is until now free of charges.
I thought about it, what if we make this forum based on a paid membership, with a yearly amount to pay, just like the Western Front Association, of which I am a member?
That way, you register yourself, pay a yearly contribution, and can post messages and reply's here. Another bonus is, that you register on only 1 IP-adress, another one will not be accepted, as it isn't linked to you personally. But will lead to a permanent ban/ extra fee to pay. No spammer would go for paying fee's to spamming us.
The other bonus is, that, knowing this forum is mostly paid for by Brian, and based on yearly donations, can benefit, using the yearly fee, for being a member of this site.
Regards, Coert.
O K By meBrian and I have discussed the payment idea many times, it is his forum, and his decision. There are many things involved that most people do not think about. Brian would have to claim income on the membership fees, thus getting taxes involved etc. As of now the free will donations seam to be going good for him.
Will see what he says!
