 Reporting SpamWhen spammers post in 7 or 8 different topics, how would you like us to report them? Should we report just one post so you don't get 7 different notifications, or should we report all of them? Is there a way to report the user themselves?

Re: Reporting Spam Just once is fine. That just gets us on the forums so that we can clean it up.

Re: Reporting Spam After that the real works starts. We hunt them down like the dirty dogs that they are and flog them to within an inch of their lives.

Re: Reporting Spam That's exactly how I feel feel after seeing "V14GR4" posts in 5 different forums, Xander. I imagine pressing that 'ban' button must feel sooo good.

Re: Reporting Spam Yeh, the first few times it's very cool but if you've banned your Nth spammer on a day then it gets a little annoying.

Re: Reporting Spam
Ah, I see that you can do that now! grmhghyghlahyg why haven't I been chosen yet grumblehajghtlgh  In the great words of William Shakespear:
BTW, he was actually quite good at making up insults. Although, most people today wouldn't know what you're talking about, the way he worded them. Hmm, that means you could get more in without them noticing.....  Anyway, why the extra Mods all of a sudden? _________________ A.K.A. inxt-generation Self-proclaimed genius, and future world dominator.

Re: Reporting Spam I noticed we needed mods in some of our other forums. And I didn't want Xander to take all the fun of banning spammers.
Oh, and I know you're a great contributor too.  _________________ Vu Nguyen Software Training Development Team | Webmaster Need more support? Use the ROBOTC Ticketing system Robotc.net| Robomatter Store | Robotics Academy |
