is there anything that can be done about all the spam threads we have been getting lately? It is starting to get ridiculous, or am I the only one who has noticed?

There should be a yellow triangle "button" on the thread. When you hover over it, it should say "Report Post".... Report it that way.

You aren't the only one who has noticed. I brought it up in the "forum issues" section.

With the titles that they use, its impossible to catch without opening up every single thread.

The problem is, this is the "Off topic" section. What is spam and what is not is...open for interpretation.

I will enforce the no links in sigs rule though..

It is...However when someone posts the same things 4 or 5 times, Im going to take that as spam. I deleted a few items the other day and when I looked up the member history he/she posted 2 things 4 times...... S P A M

I deleted 7 threads last night that looked like spam and banned the OP's.

unfortunately, the mods have no way to stop that.

Send a PM with the users name to an admin, so they can ban said user.
just delete the message.
