Dear User,

Recently someone posted spam on our forums and then used the link to that post to spam thousands of other sites trying to sell ringtones. This is not spam from GameTutorials, but from someone who is in some small country and is probably 15 years old and has nothing better to do. Their IP address has been posted countless times to black lists all over the internet, but unfortunately their ISP is ignoring people when trying to shut them down. We have completely removed our forums and no longer will have forums because of the constant abuse such as this. Our site has been blacklisted because of this abuse and misrepresentation and we would appreciate it if you would find the IP address of the person who posted on your site if you were spammed, and report them.

The only way to protect ourselves from attacks/spam like this is to add a security check that blocks automated spam from scripts. For instance, before someone can post on your site, make a random number or image popup and make the user type in what they see. This is the only thing we can do unfortunately. We apologize for the annoying spam that someone thought would be a good idea. If you find them please report them. We are receiving hundreds of emails about this spam so please don't email us. We have done the best we can to get rid of and report this spammer. We are a legitimate company for over 10 years and do not spam others. We sell programming tutorials, not ringtones. If someone posted on microsoft's forums and then used that link to spam thousands of sites, of course you can't blame microsoft for having a forum. Once again, thanks for helping to stop this spammer.

Warm Regards,
The GameTutorials Staff
