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!

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!

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.

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

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)
