Spammers
The past few days alot of SPAM ads are occuring. We need a section dedicated so we can post the name of possible spammers. It might help the moderaters save alot of time if some of the members can help identify them to you so they can be blocked.
Thanks

Exactly! If you guys aren't aware, in the top right corner of everyone's post box is a red box with an explanation mark (!) in it. If you guys click that, and submit that report on the SPAM post, it will send all the mods and admin's an email with a link that will take us directly to the post you reported.
I dont konw about the other Bruce, but I have these emails come in straight to my phone, so I'll get the email notice almost immediately, and in most cases can remove the Spam right from my phone on the go.

Yep just seen the spam alert icon. Maybe you admins can make the icon a bit larger?

I've done this a few times recently and the post is removed very quickly by the mods. Kudos to them because it does seem to be happening more frequently as of late

Thanks! I had 11 emails of reported posts on my phone when I woke up this morning. However, somebody else cleaned them up before me.
The spam comes and goes in waves it seems. And always around the holidays too.

That is actually a great idea, and is very much appreciated if you guys could do that!
