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.

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.

and I try to delete before the e-mail alert goes off so,"no cookies for you"! :p :D

And now the final solution can be applied.

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.
