    We're getting hammered lately by spammers from China, but India, Pakistan and Russia have also historically been big spam contributors on TruckersReport. As a result, we're probably going to start blocking anybody who accesses the site from those countries. Before I take that drastic step, I wanted to see if that would affect any of the folks in here. I know we have some knowledgeable, long-time members from Eastern Europe, but I'm not sure whether any are specifically in Russia, or if there is anyone from those countries in Asia.

    Let me know, either by posting here or via PM.

    Spam is like cheap freight. There's cheap freight because people haul it. There's spam because dumb bunnies click on it!

    We get rid of it and them as quickly as we see it or someone reports it.

    The trouble is, they keep finding better ways to get it out there, out there being places like this. It is a never ending job to police it out and ban the spammers.

    I never noticed anyone posting from those countries.

    Is it only here in the maintenance forum?

    I know there's a few Malaysians here. I think Pablo-UA (Ukraine) is the closest to Russia, as far as I'm aware
