Moderators please ban JONSSMITH5. It's a spam bot.

At the bottom left of each post is a little triangle with a ! in it. You use that to report a post directly to the mods. They look to see what other posts are by that user, see that it's spamming and ban it.

That will get their attention immediately, whereas doing it this way might not get noticed right away.


You should delete this thread to clear it out of the database.

As mentioned above, as soon as you report a post every mod gets an alert and an email (which is fun when they all come to your iPhone at 4:00 am!).

If we know the post in question, it allows us to delete all of the posts created by the user and ban them in one function. Much easier for us. I also lets us validate that it's truly spam.
