I think most legitimate users are. It sucks a bit but it's something we have to deal with until every spammer is rounded up and sent to troll island where they can screw around with each other all day and find out just how fun it really is.

There has been ALOT of spam on these forums. PM me a reason why you want to be whitelisted.
Tell you what. I am going to reply to this thread, but only because I need one more post to level up. Sorry.
I don't think this will help the cause of you going to other parts of the forum.
