PLEASE keep reporting spam, especially if it's a post in an otherwise normal thread. Those are harder to track since I don't read all threads. Also, please refrain from posting in spam threads - we can't delete the whole thread then. Thanks!
Agreed. If there are multiple posts in a row it's less important that you report each one- when I zap the user I'll zap all their posts too. But if you find a post hidden in an already established thread, reporting is really helpful.
I'm keeping an eye on the memberlist. We've gotten a huge influx in new users and almost all of them are spam accounts, so occasionally I catch them that way. At some point I'd like to go through the memberlist and actually delete all the spammers we've banned, but that will have to wait until everyone is well-rested and this spam surge dies down.
