    Don't expect diddly squat from John Cornicello, Ramon, he didn't even have the decency to respond to my email about the death threats issued to me on these forums.  He doesn't seem to take criminal activity here too seriously (or he doesn't have a spine)...

    Enough!   

    I'm sick and tired of the criminal slander against me being propagated in these forums by the Ohio individual whose true name is Jim Oblak and has posted in these forums under at least ten provable aliases:

       1. Jim Oblak,
       2. Ken Vogel,
       3. Jim Jordan,
       4. "Jim or Marian Jordan" (first use of a disjunctive user ID),
       5. Marian Driscoll,
       6. AngieB1175,
       7. deafeningechochamber,
       8. Zaldidun,
       9. Oblique,
      10. Cleveland Steamer…

    I demand that this slanderous post be deleted immediately by Adobe and/or Jive:

    I had refrained from suing him earlier because of the improbability of damage recovery as he is apparently flat broke, but now Adobe owes me substantial damages for failing to ban him after knowing his identity. His previous slander at the WebX forum was deleted but it was nevertheless spread all over the Internet through your NNTP service.

    Stop this crminal activity of which you are complicit, Adobe.  Now!

    I am hereby making a formal demand of John Cornicello, as the Adobe employee supervising these forums, to provide me with the IP addresses from which this individual has ever posted within the next seventy-two hours.

    If Adobe does not comply, then I will proceed to contact legal counsel, Adobe's CEO and Adobe's legal department.

    Your forums are not worth anything these days, the least you could do is prevent this kind of criminal wrongdoing.

    I encourage all users of the Photoshop Macintosh forum with a sense of decency to hit the Report Abuse button on this slanderous post:

    Maybe J Maloney should be added to that list of aliases.

    I don't know if I'm posting this in the right forum, if not, please move where you see fit. It's my first time posting, but I have to warn other members about this e-mail I received. I hate SPAM so I decided to post it here as an FYI. I know you guys are smart enough not to believe this, but figured why not see if I can help any other people that might have encountered this problem and to bring it to adobe's attention.

    I've just received something similar. Adobe should issue a waring about this.

    Has anyone checked what happens with the repeating post if a thread that has been locked to stop it is unlocked after 12-14 hours?

    Here's one that was locked for approx 19 hours, unlocked, repeat post started up again, then locked again.

    Things may have changed since April 12, though.

    [Edit: I need a new calculator! That was locked for more than a day prior to unlock/relock.]

    I have just noticed that this report may pass unnoticed because I posted it as a reply to Pat.

    There is a new post by La Favia! here

    The messsage, apparently in Spanish, is meaningless, and I can't guess what the author is trying to do.

    Indeed!

    Unlike the email spammers, forum spammers are quite ingenious. Their goal is to remain undetected, except for search engines.

    We shall remain vigilant!

    Are you saying that spam post should be left alone...?

    The thing is, these spammers (mostly from China and India) post their spam links in many forums, hoping to increase their search engine rank. Forums that do not strictly control and remove spam posts will likely attract more forum spammers than stricter ones.

    If we do not report and remove spam posts, we will see a lot more of these sooner or later.
