I just opened my email to find about 8 of the same topic. I tried to send a message to the webmaster, but my message was returned.

RE: SPAM: (This is what I wrote.)
I tried to get the long headers to send - but since it was an RSS feed
I couldn't, and didn't want to click on "READ MORE" , but - hope
you've already solved the problem.

It's so disgusting I just want to make sure you've been able to stop
it.... it came into my IN box on February 25, 2010
......It has flash. I received about 8 of the same feed.

I won't paste this pic here, but maybe this will help identify the
spammer ??? .. the text in the picture talks about a threesome, and
at the lower corner it looks like the website might be something
entitled "get it on"

I won't delete it from my computer in case you want more info from me.

here is the first part, I believe is safe to send you ...

STOP and READ This Entire Message!
See the woman's body.
Shapes, curves, skin so soft and hair smelling so sweet.

Again, I hope you've been able to stop this spammer!!!

Thanks,
Gloria

Hi Gloria,

Unfortunately that spammer managed to put up a LOT of dirty posts in a very short time. We do our best to keep an eye on new users and ban potential spammers, but sometimes they do get through, and if it's a time when there's not many moderators around they can put up a lot of yucky things.

I can assure you this spammer was banned and the threads removed as soon as we discovered them.

Unfortunately with the RSS feed, you may get posts like this cached that get delivered to your feed reader, and while they may have been deleted on TCS, they may still show in your reader.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Thanks for all the hard work you guys do, especially the part of protecting us from harmful spammers.

Also, thanks for confirming that you had already taken care of this particular spam and spammer.
