Spammers advertise web sites by posting their URLs (web address) in the chat room, either in open chat or in whispers.
When chatters advertise in open chat and stay in the chat room, hosts should warn them for advertising and follow the warn, warn, kick procedure.
Drive-by Spammers
Spammers that come into the chat room, advertise and leave the room immediately, should be reported in whisper to Sysop_vsi in the host room. If she is on "away" (coffee cup), report via email to Vickie5-msn@sc.rr.com. Always include the chatter's nickname, room it happened in, and complete message from the room.
Whisper Spammers
If you get a complaint from a chatter about being spammed in whisper, have them copy and paste it to you in a WHISPER; you may kick the chatter IF you report it. If the whisper is directly to the host, the spammer should be kicked. In both cases, it should be reported in whisper to Sysop_vsi in the host room. If she is on "away" (coffee cup), report via email to Vickie5-msn@sc.rr.com.
