What's Up With The Damn Spammers

Sorry, but if you are really serious about removing spammers off this forum, then let us report it as soon as we see it!

Since at any given moment a spam barrage is usually caused by one user, I would suspect clicking the report button on 1 link would be sufficient. This alerts the mods to a spammer who then manages that profile and all associated posts. I don't think it is necessary to report on every post the spammer has spewed out.

Am I right Astro, or way off base?

(keep up the good work)

This.
There's no need to report the same user over and over.

@MadMax: I agree that putting a delay on reporting posts and NOT adding a delay for posting is stupid. Unfortunately, as Astro has mentioned a few times in the past, there's nothing we can do about it, and no extra number of mods will make an impact on this. If you don't want to report posts, then please just ignore them.

Dozens of spam posts just this morning...

It's completely out of control right now
