When You Spot A Spammer

No matter how amazing our spam prevention is, now and then a spammer gets through.

When you see a spammer, you can click on the flag, next to their post to alert me.

Another option (especially when it is a spammer posting multiple times) is to contact me via PM or via the "contact us" button near the bottom of the site.

Starting threads about the spammer doesn't speed up the removal of the spammer and responding to the spammer actually makes my job a bit more difficult because I have to find and manually remove those posts too.

If you see a bunch of posts by a single spammer, you only need to flag one of them and then contact me. It helps me tremendously when you provide me with the username of the spammer if you use email private messages to alert me.

Thank you everyone.

As many of you already know, Hurricane Harvey is fixin' to mess with Texas. That means it may take me a bit longer to remove spam in the coming days. Those of you that message me with spammers, please continue to do so, it just may take me longer to respond, so please be patient with me.
