Hello everybody,

As some of you have noticed, we've being having a bit of an issue with Forum
spam recently. Our faithful Discussions Moderators have been doing a great job,
though, and if you have hidden canceled messages in your Forum preferences, you
may have missed most of the posts:

For those who like spam and missed tonight's episode, here is a quick summary:

Important message: BUY GBL (gamma-butyrolactone)

For those of you following the spam cycle, this is nothing out of the ordinary.
However, something rather special happened tonight. We linked the spammer to
another BrickLink account, perhaps an "alter-ego" as it were:

We do have a serious plan to address the spam issue and we will be acting on
it very soon.

[...] A filter for gummies, pizza and mustard? If I was planning on using an account to be naughty, I think I'd try and hide it a bit and call it MrNice and not MrEvil.
