Just saying.

One more reason to report PM, yes you can :).

It's not necessary to report all the post from same member though (if all is spam). Mods know how to look at past post (or all post by the same member) and delete all of them.

Edit. I'm kidding. Pain pils are wonderful!!!!

Awwwwwwww.:(

I too report spam when i see it - but it does sometime time a long time before its removed.
The current " movie" thread has been there for 4 hours now - and i have reported it 3 times now with hours in between.

i have never been on a site where reporting spam have been more hidden, and where it takes so long for the mods to remove the posts. I agree with tigger please tell us if there is ny more we can do to get tbe spam removed.

The report button isn't exactly hidden, but the last forum remake might have done something. It seems that the report triangle doesn't show up as well in internet explorer as it does in Firefox and Safari.

As for why it is taking so long. Clash of clans just added something called clan wars and the kids over there are really going crazy. One day there was something like 350 threads in a short time all in the wrong place. They have two sub forums for joining clans and recruiting clan members and when they post multiple times in multiple places, things get really messy. So the mods have been super busy over there trying to maintain order. There is just one mod who doesn't play COC and she spends the majority of her time here, but the poor girl has to sleep and take care of her kids etc. remember these folks are volunteers. Some of the kids who play that game can get really obnoxious. I've never seen so many banned members in relatively recent posts. I guess keeping order is more important than deleting a thread we can just ignore.

The last spammer didn't just post one thread we could simply ignore, they managed to post one thread per minute for over an hour. Two full pages of forum, 60 plus posts, was nothing but spam, hard to ignore. Just setting the record straight.

Have a wonderful Hayday.

Wow. I missed that one. Usually I just see three to four. That's one dedicated spammer

Thank you for reporting the spam. It really helps us.

Please never ever respond to spam for the following reasons:
1/ it bumps the spam thread to the top where it is seen by more people
2/ 90% of the time it's a robot, not a human being. They cannot read your reply
3/ you may be accidentally banned along with the bot
4/ abusive messages? I've never heard of this before, but its a pretty good reason not to respond.

So the best thing you all can do is to please report the spam, and not respond. We will delete it as soon as we read the report. I'm sorry if this sometimes takes longer than 15 minutes, we act as soon as possible.

Thanks Tink, that's what I wanted to know. I'll just report quietly as usual.

That's really good advice, but could a sticky be placed with this information along with HOW to report. It took me over an hour to figure out how to report spam, meanwhile spammer is putting out one thread per minute, totally taking over forum.
