Mmmmhmmm.

The question is, do you ever catch any of these fraud-perpetrators?

It is a sad state of affaris -- I can see plenty of old grannies (or my mom for that matter) blindly clicking such a link. Have you seen those sting shows where they go after the Nigerian inheritance/coup scam artist? Pretty scary really.

Spoiler: Hint: I'll start the pool on how long until Dauphin is banned if you want... I did it several times and never got banned for it. Then they changed it so that it doesn't work anymore

Actually, Ming can not be added to anyone's ignore list, try for yourself. But our software being buggy, it does occasionally mess the user up. Not sure if the same applies to buddy lists, somehow no one ever tried to spam the forum with those links

But I guess it'd be exactly the same.

Next time, just redirect the link to a Pekka thread
