Ed, wasn't sure who to notify. I haven't visited the site in quite a whileand was surfing around to catch up and saw that the forum on conducting business has really gotten slammed. Wish there was a way to shut down these idiots. Mike

I've noticed quite a bit of spam in various forums over the last few weeks as well.

In case anybody is unfamiliar with this: In the upper right corner of each thread post, there is a small triangle (white, with a red border, and a vertical black line in the middle) just to the right of the post number.

If you float your mouse over it, you will see "report post". Click the triangle and you'll be taken to a page where you can label the post as spam, profanity, pornography, etc...
Click "send report" after specifying why you are reporting the post, and a moderator or somebody with administrative privileges will move or delete the post at their discretion.

This helps the mods and admin keep the forums tidy a lot more easily and quickly, without having to take the time to check every post and every thread on their own.

^^^ Exactly. I (and others) get an email which points me towards the offending post, and in a minute it's gone.

The spammers are hit and run.

Thank you.

I sent reports on the latest spammer, but it seems to have taken a few days to get him blocked out.
