three spam posts in General discussion!!! It's everywhere!!!
Re: Spam Pandemic
Yes, I'm flagging the posts as I see them but Paradox can't spend his whole day watching.
I'd say this is pretty harmless, as it's easy to spot the spam posts by their title and avoid opening them.
On the other hand, it seems I could cut my Viagra budget by half, so some spam posts are relevant to at least part of the community!

Re: Spam Pandemic
I do owe a huge thanks to the vigilant members here who are reporting posts. It is much easier for me (or Hoikas, when he is back) to just view the list of reported posts and delete those users, rather than searching through all of the forums repeatedly ourselves. By reporting the posts, you make it easier to find and get rid of the spam. Thanks!

We must not forget to thank you for keeping up this fight and defending the board against the evil 
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

Re: Spam Pandemic
I just checked the Registration page and noted that you still do not have a special "Catcha" Uru Related question to fool the spammers.
Like I have suggested b4, the one at the GoMe site is doing a very good job with its always changing new question list.

Re: Spam Pandemic
You're allowed to do it yourself, and as MODs go, it's quite uncomplicated.

Re: Spam Pandemic
at the top of the posts is a "!" icon, click that and it'll report the post (at least that's how it is on the prosilver theme, not sure about the GoW one)
