And if there are 4-5 spams in on forum (they tend to be in the "Pink Floyd" forum -- just report the first one -- we'll get the rest when we go to delete the reported one

Threads like these have almost been as much of spam as the actual spam...

Personally and I hate to be a pain, but the post was asking a question as to what can we do about it? Unfortunately it seems thta there is nothing we can do, but I do feel that someone shouldn't be flamed for asking a question. ???

Anyways, is there anyway that "all" these threads that are made up regarding Spam (I have made one also) can be merged? Or do you Mods not have that ability? I know the forum I ran Mods used to be able to, but I also understand that each forum has its' own capabilities.

Hopefully PFO will give you guys the ability to just delete users that are spam, or at least bann their e-mails.

I am not trying to create trouble here just trying to help, it would be great if we could all band together to rid ourselves of this rubbish.
