FYI: HOW TO GET RID OF THE SPAM POSTS - PLEASE READ!

All you need to do to get rid of the spam posts is to flag it as spam.  After three people have done so, the post disappears.
 
I will usually also report one of the topics to the moderators so they can ban the spammer later, but we no longer need to wait for them.
 
Thanks for helping keep the forums clean!

    Note: The posts aren't deleted right away, they're simply removed from being seen.  After three flaggings the post is set to a status of "Approval Pending" which means the mods would see any abuse and handle that situation.

    It shouldn't make a difference, this only targets posts that are ridiculous or have no reason to exist except to promote the person's interest who made the topic.
     
    Oh...  Wait.  I see what you mean!

    I always report that crap. But you'll never get rid of it. People are too stupid? If it was completely ineffective, it wouldn't be here...
