Maybe the computer from "Person of Interest" is trying to communicate with us!

If you click the little exclamation icon in the top right of the post, you can report them and I believe Stuka gets an email.

Yes, please report them in this fashion (and feel free to create a post too).

Those spammers are gone :evil:

Changed account activation to no longer be user activated, so should prevent this in the future.

Seems you got hit pretty hard over the weekend. I think locking spammers up in the stockade in the towne square for public abuse is more than warranted.

Do people even ever click the links? I would think it would be a fairly ineffective endeavor anymore.

You know, what works well on the other board is just not allowing any new accounts. They have like zero spam ;)

There were three last night when I hit the "!" on one also. It'd be good to know if the "!" button works.

Yes, it does work.

I always use the 'view new posts' and I saw the ones you guys flagged as indicated with the exclamation point.

So yeah, if you see posts that are out of line, flag 'em and we will see 'em.

Like blake said, they work. It will also tell us why you guys flagged them, so be sure to state why. Although spam is pretty obvious. But if you flag for anything else (language or whatever), state why.
