Members who SPAM the boards, and seem to be actual users (not bots) are warned.
Bots (recognized since they post their ad, and never come back) are immediately banned.
Accounts remain intact, but the user is no longer able to access the forums.
If you see SPAM, please report it, don't hesitate. If someone breaks the forum rules, you can also use the report feature.
Once we receive SPAM notifications, we remove it from the public immediately using our new plan (which, so far, is working out alright) so it doesn't clutter.
