spammers are often elusive go to great lengths to hawk their wares - so i guess we jus hv to just keep monitoring n removing them - be it unsolicited emails, sms, pms, etc.

Hi and thanks for your good comments.
10 posts insn't hard for a spammer, but it makes things really not worth the time for them to spam.
10 posts isn't hard for new members to do as well as it just involves mild participating and once they get the hang of it, we can get more members to communicate and chat with each other too.
We'll run and see how this goes for the first week and we'll change if neccessary, already I have a few people PMing and emailing me regarding the new restrictions but i see that as a good thing.
Thanks again.
