So here's how members can help. When you read an obvious spam thread report it using the red triangle. When a thread is reported I get a message on my phone. Then I can come on and ban them and delete the thread.
Like I said there are 20K bots now in the registered users group. There will be more spam and I would appreciate your help. Until they figure out how to move these bots back into the banned user group, this is going to be an issue. If you don't want to help then don't, it's up to you.

This site, admins & members have helped me..
Thanks for that..

I did not know about the red triangle and what it does so I sent a PM.
I figured that someone with the power to fix it was probably already on it but thought a note might help somehow.
From now on I'll use the red triangle.

Then you must not have been on often because for a period of time we had numerous spammers every day. It was up to the moderators to clean it up.

Not as often as you. I'm on here fairly regularly; enough to be a premium member.....but not at your rate of over 9 posts per day........you've been here less time than I but you have like what, 25 times the number of posts I have? I see how I could have missed them.

Okay another 1900 banned over the last few days. I think we got 98% of them. But theres a chance we missed some.
Also any real person member who was banned before, was unbanned when this happened. I am not going to try and remember who they all are. If they come back and don't cause any issues then fine with me. If they do cause problems, such as one who posted two days ago, they will be banned again.
