in the section where you can see who has visited your profile it shows on mine that zyngad has visited. so i click on his name and see that he is banned , has made no posts etc and was only a member for a few hours! however what concerns me is that i clicked on the profiles of other boards members and seen the name zyngad…

however what concerns me is that i clicked on the profiles of other boards members and seen the name zyngad pop up in the section where it shows also who has visited their page!!!

No don't worry, it looks like one of the many user accounts that we've banned for spamming. Spam is everywhere, and we get lots of accounts signing up, that are spammers, we ban hundreds every week. They can't harm you by looking at your profile.

No probs. To get an idea of how we deal with spam here, check this thread out on the Feedback forum. You can report posts and the local mods will check it out. But if it's real obvious spam, you can pop a link on the thread above and an Admin will siteban them, and give you a wee thanks for the post.
