Site spammer on loose.

I have noticed several threads during the last week or possibly more where one guy is spamming his coupon site. Normally I am glad to see any links to coupon sites I don't know about because occasionally you find an elusive coupon that shows up on just one of the many coupon sites. The more you have (links to sites) the better the odds you find it somewhere if it exists. But it rubs me the wrong way seeing that it is not a regular member or menbers that give out this info, rather the (probably) site owner registering for the sole purpose of spamming his site. I have seen this "junior member" with different registered names (always a junior) post in several Hot Deals threads saying stuff like....

"good deal!

more codes are found at this place - dealios(linked)"

That was from http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=40&threadid=447017

Like I said it kind of bothers me the way it is done, so I am sure it would bug you worse. Usually the name he uses always has "deal" in it somewhere. If this kind of thing requires your attention, you may want to log his IP because he will just use a new user ID in a day or two.

Thanks. It bothers us, too. He has been banned and logged under all known names.
