    Admin please stop the spammers

    Please remove all spam and make a better ant-spam software on the server. This site is almost ruined by spam.

    The quickest way to notify the moderators about spam is to use the "report post" function in one of the spam posts. This will send the moderators an e-mail, and they can delete all of it at once and ban the spammer. It isn't necessary to report more than one spam per spammer.

    Unfortunately, there are times when all the moderators are offline. I am not a moderator on this forum, but I did send a post report, so that one of the moderators can take care of it as soon as possible.

    Can the spam posts be deleted from the RSS feed somehow? It's pretty disconcerting to have XXX images show up in Google Reader.

    I have been offline since Friday night due to a wind storm. As David said report it and generally I will be deleted within minutes.

    Sean Thanks for picking up the slack.

    new spam tools are now in place thanks to the upgrades. Should be a HUGE help.
