edit: what is the criteria for being a member here? How does an account named "Hotmailaccounts" even get approved?
I took care of the spammer approximately an hour ago. If ya'll report t to me, and I am around, I can take care of it. If you are getting tired of it I am sorry. I am too. You can apply for a full refund of your membership fees to our customer service dept.

That account never got approved but there are a lot of hackers for the software we use and they were able to post without being approved.

Edited to add. I am aware of this happening at most 4 times in the last 33 months. Each time it was caught within hours and fixed. I wouldn't call that too excessive, though it is more than it should be.
