Default Annabelle45 and Anne58 - Banned

I just banned Annabelle45 and Anne58. Apparently, the newest tactic from spammers is to create an authentic-looking member account, cut and paste messages from other forums so it looks like a real member participating in the discussion, and then use the account to spam the forum either by putting commercial links in the signature line or by sending PMs to other members with advertisements.

I have confirmed via google that these two accounts were just regurgitating posts from other outdoor forums, which is why the posts were "kind of" on topic but didn't really make a lot of sense if you read them closely.

If anybody sees any more stuff like this, or if you get spam PMs from other new members, let me know and I'll look into it.
