    As I'm sure many of you have noticed, the spamming of our forums has been on the uptick quite a bit lately, so the Mod team wanted to give a quick update, and a word of thanks.

    First off a big "THANK YOU!" :thanks:to all the forum members that took the time to report the spam to the team, your efforts are greatly appreciated and help the mod team to immediately locate and handle the offending posts when we log in.


    Secondly, our administrator Sparky has been diligently working behind the scenes to address the problem, while walking a fine line to insure he doesn't reduce the forum experience of our actual members and new forum signups in any way, and to keep the spammers and spambots out.

    Yes thank you Ladies & Gents! The reports help is zero in quite quickly compared to browsing the "Undread" threads and allow us to nuke those guys trying to tell you super diet pills that help with both menopause and ED at the same time. It's a nice group effort in my humble opinion to keep these annoyances off the forum :)

    Spam is much like graffiti, if you get rid of it in a timely manner, they won't come back.

    It is pretty annoying to have those posts. They are selling poison. That's why I'm on my watch hahaha. If something is reported more than once do you mods get several annoying emails or
    Something?

    Because when someone has posted "Reported" I do not report the thread again so that your mailboxes doesn't get spammed also =P and I post reported when I report threads also for the same reason

    It is in all of our own self interests to report spam. Spam is the cockroach of the electronic world.

    Nope, an initial report is generated by the first person to report it, then as other members report on the same post, their name is added to the list of reporters.
