Hi Dear,
Hopefully this mail will find you in a perfect state of mind and good healthy condition. While going through the dating sites today,(www.nairaland.com) I came accross your profile which I personally find interesting and charming and decided to drop you few lines just to say hi,I am looking for a friend in a man or woman of your kind who unerderstands the need to love and be loved. I have taken time to see the age difference b/w us but this is really within my choice of age range and I have no problems with that.
I sincerely find you and will be very happy if you can send me an email here (mami_mby@yahoo.co.uk) so that i will send you mail as soon as porsible for you to know me very well.
Regards.
Miss mami

The above user seems to major in spam check out the recent postings all junk!

Spam is a major issue for public forum admins. Seun spends valuable time deleting such spam threads. The threads are auto-generated by spambots [spam robots] and unscrupulous individuals who cant find anything valuable to do with their idle time.

Really. Well, quite a few, even after this thread, still appear on first pages of many threads, like the one below:

Hey, why not just start a good old fan club going, @niyyie?

Are you implying that I am a fan of Seun? I used Seun as an example here. He is not the only forum admin who has to tackle spam.

SParm guys abound in every forum. [/color][color=#990000][/color][color=#990000]

I have used other forums where spam is not an issue. As a matter of fact it is in the interest of the forum to sort out spam as most site host would gladly kick out your site on that grounds. - No one wants there Server clogged up with scam and eventually Virus.

A 100% spam-free forum is not possible. Remember there are humans paid to post spam on forums.
