| Hello all, This is mainly to whomever is in charge of these forums? Is it you Mr. Dan Hong? Well I just had a private message sent to me here and it was from 'Smith' It was a braindump link where he provided ***.com or some crap like that. Yes, I suppose I'm tattling but I just don't appreciate that braindump cheater style stuff being sent to me. I could reply to this 'Smith' person but it shows he has 0 posts and is in Australia. Probably just a one time poster like many other ones are. Maybe you can track him and tell him to not use any of that cheating material stuff? Thanks.  P.S. Funny thing is I've passed the CCNA last Thursday, if this Smith person can pay any attention you can see in my sig on all my posts. LOL. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th.

Mine didn't show where he's from other than he said he was from Romania and he was poor (ain't we all)  .!_30, do like we all do, bust your a*s and save your money to buy what we buy dumba*s. Sorry guys, but this is the 2nd similar message in as many weeks and its getting old already. We need a report button on our pm's now as I think its getting to that point either that or come up with a way that nobody can pm anyone unless they had a minimum of 10+ posts (I'd prefer more say 20). That way we've had a chance to decide what type of person they are (in good standing). ------------- 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 |

| The same message was PMed to me. Please add a database trigger or constraint to prevent spam that directs readers to certain sites. I did check out their site. I'll report the site to MSFT. Edit to add: this same person was spamming several forum topics earlier this week; the site admin removed those posts. |

| Dude... if you're posting about the site, you're contributing to the problem. He gets free advertising when you do that... search engines will push him higher and higher because this page is searchable. People, there's no excuse for even secondarily posting links to braindump sites. I've asked that this thread be removed. ------------- BosonMichael (formerly TMichael) MCSE+I, MCSE: Security, MCDST, MCDBA, OCP, CCNP, CCDP, CNE, SCSA, Security+, Linux+, Server+, Network+, A+ Served proudly, US Army, 98C Intelligence Analyst, '89-'92 |

| Well I don't care if it helps his advertising, I just want to do everything I can to keep that cheatin' garbage junk off these forums where MOST of the individuals here are serious about certifications and actually have a brain. People who use braindumps could use a brain. Close this thread as needed. Just had to voice my pm I received. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom?

Heh, heh. Your a funny guy. Yeah, from Romania, one of the poorer (if not poorest) countries in Europe. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |

| There's not much that can be done to control PM's much like email, but I like the idea of a minimum post requirement, much like eBay's minimum feedback. You can always opt-out of notifications by email. ------------- Andy Barkl Forum Moderator |

You're *not* keeping his junk off the forums if you post the name of his site!

No, Nick didn't edit it - look closely... Andy Barkl did, because it's against forum rules to post links to braindump material. On your other point, you are correct: It's never too late to edit your own posts. Well, unless you get banned for violating forum rules... THEN it might very well be too late! ;) ------------- BosonMichael (formerly TMichael) MCSE+I, MCSE: Security, MCDST, MCDBA, OCP, CCNP, CCDP, CNE, SCSA, Security+, Linux+, Server+, Network+, A+ Served proudly, US Army, 98C Intelligence Analyst, '89-'92 |

The little piece of paper next to the Buddy button is the Edit button. Sorry, dude, I don't mean to give you grief about it... but helping braindumpers who destroy our certifications - even by helping out accidentally - is not permissable and should not be tolerated by anyone who cares about the integrity of our hard-earned certifications. You're one of the good guys - you should know better, bro. Therefore, please don't take my post the wrong way... I merely mean to help keep everyone on the same side of the fight by making sure you're not providing "weapons to the enemy", so to speak. ------------- BosonMichael (formerly TMichael) MCSE+I, MCSE: Security, MCDST, MCDBA, OCP, CCNP, CCDP, CNE, SCSA, Security+, Linux+, Server+, Network+, A+ Served proudly, US Army, 98C Intelligence Analyst, '89-'92 |

| Yeah, I realize what your saying and can't argue with it. Posting the name of their braindumps of course helps with advertising and such in there rankings, profit, all that stuff. On a side note, I've noticed I lost 4 posts on these forums, this morning I had 800, and now 796+1=797 after this post. Hmm....... Oh, by the way when I sent that reply back to that braindumper, I made sure box that said email me when message is read was checked, got a notification that they read it. Funny enough, I blocked the user after replying! Heh, heh! ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |

| yep, missed that Andy got busy today. and pentium4forever, the reason you got shorted some posts (never do count mine so didn't notice anyways) was because of a few posts we did on couple of dudes who got canned today. Remember the dude from India who was promoting a braindump that he operated? Also remember the odd post about "give me info about a Pentium II" (same guy) who was just trolling for A+ materials (as it turned out) and I pointed out that his profile linked him to a braindump site. ------------- 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 |

Yep - deleted threads can cause our own posts to disappear.

| Oh.....well that's understandable. I guess that's fine. If the guy was braindump, then I guess I don't mind those posts were deleted. I really don't post to get my posts high. Although, I would be lying if I didn't say that I look at my number of posts. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |
