Some sites lead you to illegal to possess items (like counterfit drugs and clothes). Certain topics are not to be discussed here, period. Also, the spammers go away after a while. We have one that is beginning to become an irritant and that will be dealt with in another manner. We don't want to upset legitimate Wine users by bulk blocking IP addresses and such (that is really heavy handed) but this may be necessary. And no, this is not subject to discussion. > This forbids anti-spam filters & programs to do their jobs properly. Set your spam filters to delete "banned topic" and "banned site". I can even do this in Thunderbird, but I haven't because I'm one of those chasing these fools (and that is what they are, if you think I'm interested in a certain brand dress and I'm a hard core gamer??)
