| Hrm, I do not know the interworkings of this message board. Would it be possible to prevent users from sending private messages until they have made a minimum number of posts to the message board? I just had spam in a private message! User Smith, location Australia, was requesting that I visit some miscellaneous website for immoral purposes. This is kind of wack. Have a nice day! ------------- I came, I saw, but I did not conquer. . CCNP, CCNA, MCSE, MCSA, MCP, Network+, A+, currently pursuing: 350-001 |

| I get tired of the ones who pm me to help with them obtaining copyrighted info without having to pay for it. That really ticks me off to no end. Like this guy today. USER ID !_30 (Moderator, when you see this, I'd appreciate if he was banned or whatever action you see fit) User hasn't even made a single post before pm'ing me. I think I agree with instant000, they should have a minimum of 10+ posts before pm'ing other members. And I certainly gave this yahoodude an ear full. (well at least in text). "Hello Sorry for bothering u .. I'm from Romania , 18 year.. taken CCNA 640-801 already , and now preparing for LPIC 1 ( Level 1 exam).I have a e-book.. but I realized that it dosen't cover whole , and I begin to look for a book , per example exam cram 2 for LPIC 1 & 2 , Linux in a nutshell , Linux Bible , but I coulden't find them for free, coz I can't afford them , I cannot.My aprent's only have money for me to take the exam's :(.

| LOL, well we aren't here to shell out money to everyone. Haven't gotten that one from the Romanian dude yet. Is the guy too lazy or stupid to get a job? There's gotta be a job you can get in Romania. C'mon. LOL. There are people over there with jobs that are doing fine. That spammer is an idiot. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |

| Sorry to hear about the annoying PMs... I disabled the !_30 account earlier this week because of a SPAM post and thought I had disabled !_30n because it looked too suspicious but I guess I didn't--but I have now. Please continue to report SPAM posts and PMs so that I can create a case for reprogramming and enhanced features. Thank you ------------- Andy Barkl Forum Moderator |

Yeah, that username Smith dude I got the pm from as well as WildCat here I know has too. Now you. I've blocked him from pm'ing me right after I sent him a nasty message back. Probably won't do any good if he just signs up again under a different name and does it again and again. 10 + posts minimum rule is something that needs to be put into these forums. It's a great idea actually. What I wrote back to him is below: Well, I've already passed the exam and I did it the right way. The method you've chosen is cheating. Those braindumps are the way cheaters choose. Cisco has no tolerance with people who cheat as do I. If you've seen my posts, you'll see I have the CCNA. I recommend you grow up, and start getting certs without cheating from any of those braindump sites, otherwise you can kiss your certs goodbye. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th.

USERID Smith pm today, please block this IP from reaching certcities.com again PLEASE  HI Wildcat_Dude, I'd like to refer you a good site for passing the exams: www.*******.com I always use products from ******, it saved me so much time, usually it only took me one week to prepare the exam, every questions WORD 4 WORD was on the test. Unlike *** where you have to read huge number of questions (which more than half will never be on the test) these were easy to read b/c only about 200 even fewer questions. THey also don't change any wording or layout like *****.@_@ had to edit it again, saw that I missed one of the braindump references ------------- MCSE:Security & MCSA:Security, MCDST, MCP XP, CompTIA Sec+, A+ & N+ USAF (68-77) SP K9 Vietnam Vet 1969-DaNang, 1970-Tuy Hoa, Retired Police Detective/Narcotics/K9 |
