Default Banning Those Advertising On The Boards - 09-11-2008, 12:37

Should we have a thread where people can list new 'members' who simply join to place ads on the message boards?

For instance, MsTBWLZQ, a newbie, has done this today...

See the "Spamming spree" thread in the Temple

Also, if you see threads with spam in them, just click on the red "report" square button up the top, that's the best way to let the sweepers know...

Thanks Katcal. Yes, it's a lot recently. But I'd like to point out that even though Mal is currently traveling the world, they still get banned within a day, usually (only Mal can do that). And the stuff never stays up long.

Also, yes, there's the thread in the Temple forum which has been kind of established as the report thread for spammers, and if you want to report a spam post, press the report button; there's going to be an automated email to the mods.
