Another thing I'd like to add - I suggest that if there are links in the spam, however tempting they may be to click, do not click them, as the site may be programmed to trace where the person is coming from and, if a lot of people from here start clicking on their links, they will probably spam more to try get more people to go to their sites.

really good point. spam sucks. im on this forum at school and thank god the principals or equivelant don't know about the spam. it might get blocked then. to go back to what the sjmcd was saying about posting first. good idea. happend to me 1nce. i was in the middle of reporting it and three different ones had the word reported posted when i finished reporting. i know im a bit wordy. sry.

This method has been working well. Great idea W1P!

Whenever I find spam, I get happy and report it as quickly as possible, because as you all know, it's a fun little race and you get a box of cookies if you win.

*crys*

it also raises ur post count!

OK, everyone should get the idea, no reason to continue to discuss this

I reopened this topic to ask a question -- I've been noticing lately that people are replying to spam topics saying they reported it, but I'm not getting report PMs for some of them. Are the reports sometimes taking an excessively long time to go through or are people sometimes forgetting to actually report them after replying in the spam that they are reporting it?

Please remember to actually report the spam or people will think it has already been reported and the spam will stick around even longer until a mod happens to see it.
