When you see a spam post please don't reply to it. By replying all you do is keep it up top and actually help the spammer.

CW will take care of it in due time. The thread will be removed and the spammer banned. However if you think what you post on such a thread is gone forever you would be mistaken. Somewhere it will be archived. So don't post there and don't say anything you wouldn't want your children to read if you do.  

Lol
I was just going to try a search for the original "Ignore The Spammer" thread.

This probably was the easiest way to go because we all know how well the 'Search' function on these here forums works.

I'm somewhat surprised that you don't have that one book marked seeing as how it had to be re-posted what seemed like every 3rd day or so.   

Oh well.

I shall now do my part in pushing our latest spam-hole down the page a little bit further.

There is a REPORT ABUSE tab at the bottom of every individual post. Certainly take the time (20 seconds) to click it and select high priority and type the word "SPAMMER" in the comments, and send it to the moderators. 

By doing that, they do get it and read about it faster than if they are simply browsing the forums. 

I have found they are very appreciative of that sort of heads up and act fairly quickly to delete the thread. 

The only thing I have posted in a spammer's thread in the past few years have been the following words... "REPORTED to moderators"

See what I did there?

spam i good with eggs, FYI

I agree Herb.
Cake does shut them down ASAP and I have gotten a few but usually our fellow forumites are rather quick and I get the old 'thread has been reported' message.

There are a few good logical spammers that understand that the offices are closed from Friday night till Monday morning. So they spam us up on weekends knowing it'll be up all weekend.

I do rather enjoy being the one that gets to be the 'reporter' and it's been a while.
And since I'm waiting on a bass player to get done working, I've decided that I'm going to follow you around till he gets here and report all your post's as spam.

You don't mind, do you?

Thanks Herb, you're the best.

yeah Mike... there is a low tolerance for spammers round here. 

most often even on weekends you can tell at a glance that the thread with an unrecognized name and ZERO replies is probably a spammer so I generally don't even go to look.  And often the title is a dead giveaway

I just ate three hard boiled eggs with Frank's Red Hot, 5 slices of bacon and a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese.

But I'm not a troll... just a nuisance.

;-p

don't say anything you wouldn't want your children to read

Not to worry about the children. 

cake just need to get better forum software.. it's that simple

this is the only forum I use that lets them spam using bots (which is whats being done)
