Reporting Spam
Posted: Sat Jan 29, 2011 1:04 pmHey Gang,
It makes it much easier for the mod and admin team to delete spam if you refrain from replying to spam threads. If there are no replies to the thread, we can ban and delete the user and all of the threads the user started in one step. If there are replies to the thread, then the spammer's original post is removed, but the replies remain, so we have to go through and find each spam thread to delete it individually.
The best thing to do with spam threads is to report them using the triangular explanation point icon that appears at the top right of every post on the forum. Please resist the urge to post replies to spam threads.
Thanks!
