Not sure if this is a bot or not but I've been seeing a few spam posts lately.

 

if you ever see spam in the forums there is a 'report this post' button that you can use to signal the admins. It's next to the normal reply button.

Have seen it coming through in the RSS feeds.  Thanks for the heads up about the button.

I've been reporting them! I wonder if they are from different IP's. I'd think that these type of people would be blocked by their IP's, but I know that these often switch IPs… It's a shame they go to so much trouble just to be deleted by the forum admins.

Can I give you guys Forum Admin access to delete on spot?

I've been getting lots of e-mails, and if we spread the admin access around, we'll eradicate spammers more.  I really hope they don't start flooding the forums as they've flooded the comment system.

Agreed. I received four spam comments today alone from some Nike Air Jordan site. Aren't Air Jordans popular enough?

I noticed and reported couple of messages. Suppose that admin access for me won't be appropriate – not a full member yet; but if this is not the case won't mind. Spamming is one of the things I don't mind making a stand against.
