IF NOT I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE

I don't quite understand what the problem is. Looks like nice kitchens for preparing fig dishes in. General information is a place to tell something about yourself. What you choose to put there tells something about you too. So does calling crap on someone with caps lock on. I worked in a cabinet shop when I was younger. As you can tell from my profile I have since changed occupations, but I don't see any reason to badmouth those cabinets. I think welcoming a new member, and asking about the interests they express in their profile would be a more appropriate approach.

Hi Johaaa8, welcome to the forum. Why not tell us something about how you became interested in figs?

Tom, it's a spammer.  Spammers don't deserve welcomes.  I don't know if Jon has the ability to block a particular IP address or not, but that might be able to stop this nuisance.

I'm a moderator for the banana forum and when I ban a spammer I check their IP address.  Sometimes I'll find that the person has registered several other IDs already so I ban all of those as well.  If someone continues to come back and register another ID I ask the administrator to block the IP address and that has always put a stop to it.

Harvey,
I believe your approach works with the static IPs, right? If my service provider is a cable company and I do not have a premium account, my IP would change quite often since my computer is on the DHCP.

more than likely a bot... not even a human. 

FWIW  If you do a quick search on "johaaa8 banned", you see the same cabinet email address, and is banned on 7 of the forums on the first results page.

I can't count how many forums this "johaaa8" has joined just this month.

Okay, so that's a problem for the system administrator, it clogs his computer with nonparticipants. As a participant I wouldn't have noticed it if this thread hadn't been started about it. Now me, and at this point, 120 have wasted our time reading about it. I commend dkirtexas for picking up on it (the world needs more lerts) but it seems to me that a quiet PM to Jon would have been more appropriate than a flaming post that sucked us all in.

I would send him a gift of a Fig variety that gives him a chronic Diarrhea !

Here (funny) it is once more ...
I think that the word  'computer-spam' originated from a cross
from the (WWII?) USA canned-meat brand Spam and
one of Monty Python's hilarious British TV comedy shows ...

thx Gorgi - anytime there's an excuse to watch an old MP skit things just seem better.

But still; "I don't like spam!"
