    It seems to be happening more often. Be nice to lock them out before they cause too much hassle.

    I use to click on the "Report Spam" symbol in the offending thread (that triangular symbol with the red border in the upper right). In the following dialog I state the post to be spam and then it is removed by the moderators.

    Worked well and quite quickly so far.

    Regards,
    Andreas

    Thanks Andreas, I've never noticed that before. I obviously wasn't looking hard enough .

    Thanks.

    Hey - As Andreas pointed out use the Report spam symbol - this sends out an email to the forum moderators. This week things moved a bit slow since some of us were mainly offline but rest assured that we hate spam at least as much as you do and one online, we'll remove it.

    Thanks for reporting!
