Members need to have some awareness of scams. Anyone who thinks they're going to get a free $500 give card, free iPod, or whatever simply for going to a site or filling out a survey needs a bit of a reality check on the Internet. Please just report the posts and move on. We'll nuke them as quickly as possible.

If it's posted in our deals forum, be aware of the thread title. If it's not in the format required of the section or offers something that's not specifically tech related, there's a good chance it's spam. Looking at the last bit of spam posted in the deals forum, it should be pretty evident the threads are not legit.

Deal*****APPLE BOTTOM JEANS
DEAL----$500 TARGET Gift Card

I see and understand this point, But when it is 3-5 AM and these sonzobichiz want to do this, i feel responsible to let the newer OCN members know it is BS....since there are no MODS to fix it online.

IP bans are a losing fight since it's so easy to jump on a proxy. Some sites outright block all proxy IPs, but we've been hesitant to limit access from those since it could impact legit users.

We have a new tool in the works that will significantly increase our ability to fight spam around the clock.

It seems that most users that are on proxy know they are troublemakers and thats why they don't have a static IP. I honestly think disabling proxy IPs on the site would be a good idea, and I think if the members were legit they'd switch to a static IP. It also seems (coming from chat experience of course) that most users we have to remove in chat are on proxies and just pop right back up on a different screen name, we rarely have any problems in there with older members, and its usually new members that i've never seen before. There are a few new users in chat that i'm 95% sure are just rejoined members on proxies, but there is absolutely no way to prove it.

It would be nice to just be sure that when someone was removed from the site, they are gone for good unless they switch ISPs.

My 2 cents.
