Hi, I run the Chikane Himemiya and Himeko Kurusigawa fanlisting and I'm writing this in concern for abusive join applications.  Warning here is a sample:

From: "fckers" <fck@fcker.com>  Add to Address Book  Add Mobile Alert  
Subject: Pending Membership: Eternally Yours (ckers)
   
name = fckers
email = fck@fcker.com
return link name = Back to the Home Page
visitor website url = http://
visitor country = fck land
Comment = fuck fck fck
Submit = Submit

I believe its from the same ip address, and this particular message was sent in at least six times.

I don't know what to do, heck I'm almost even scared in closing this fanlisting or putting it up for adoption since I love it so much.

I'm sorry, I don't know what to do in this situation, please help me!  I really don't want to close this fanlisting, but I feel that I must.

It's spam.  It happens sometimes and isn't something that should scare you.  If you look through the wanted forum and the fanlisting chit-chat forum you should find some tips and suggestions on how to prevent spam.  Implementing some of those suggestions should cut down on or eliminate the spam you receive.  In the meantime, just delete spam members like these.
