Please Don't post spam from your email in the Spam Bucket

I know (or hope?) you think you are helping but it isn't necessary.
There is no point in posting those emails. If anyone is stupid enough not to know these things are scams by now they deserve to lose their money
.
Every time I see an "unfamiliar" name in the spam bucket posts I have to check that users other posts to see if they are spamming the forum in other places. I do not have access to delete posts in the spam bucket.
The ONLY posts in the spam bucket should be from SPAMMERS.
----------------------
Spammers can "spoof" the origins of the email. If your email is in your profile then the whole world has access to it. It doesn't mean that it "originated" via this forum. I would suggest turning off the display email feature in your profile if this concerns you. Spammers will search through forums looking for addresses to send to. There's nothing to stop it.
--------------------
If you receive PM's on this forum like this (not emails, PMs), send an email to webmaster@lostmarble.com with the user name and content of the PM or send me a PM and I will look into it. Otherwise spam in your email is your problem. We all get tons of our own spam and idiots who post spam on this forum. We don't need to read yours here as well.
No hard feelings I just want to nip this in the bud.
