There is a button under the username of the post with an exlamation point. That is the report post button. Please report and spam or porn that comes up. As you know, we're having a problem with this right now and the threads titled with spam isn't the problem. It's the threads where they just add a post like in the s2000 cluster thread twice. We need this reported because I'm probably not alone when I say I browse the forums at work and all I need is porn spam flashing up when my supervisor walks by.

It also makes it easier for us to spot it and take care of it. We don't go searching through threads looking for spam so if you see it, flag it.
 
I hate to break the news to you and dont mean to sound like a dick, but More often then not there arent any mod's online when all of this spam pops up and the thread will last a day or so. I myself have reported quite a few threads while mod's were online and nothing gets done. Maybe up the mod staff?

I'm on almost everyday and I have never seen spam last for more then a day. Especially if it's reported.

If it gets reported we all get an email. I haven't gotten a reported post email. Maybe there's a problem with the emails being sent. I don't know, I'm not the admin of the site. I've atempted to contact JayJay to let him know about the problem we're having.
 
I'm not blaming any of the mods, something must be messed up. Hopefully it gets fixed cause as you and many others know, the spam is out of control.

You're right a lot of time the spam pops up no mods. are online.

But I always report it and it always gets taken care of. They're never there for more than a few hours.

But I really REALLY think JayJay needs to implement a waiting period.
