There's been a new spammer registering and posting their folly almost daily. If you click the red triangle with the "!" in it at the top of "their" posts, you can report it to me. I searched for the name you entered and didn't find any match. If you report the post I can instantly identify and block them.

Thanks for helping us police the Forums. :w

thats because he (admin) keeps deleting them.

There is another Thread where another user complained to Admin. & Admin responded. This message is to help Admin. locate whoever is doing this.

To help get rid of the spammers, click on the exclamation icon in upper right corner of offending post. This alerts Admin of the problem.

Thanks, I'll remember that.
Mine came in an e-mail saying there was a Post, but when I clicked on the link, it didn't exist. So, the e-mail was the only proof I had. But maybe someone else caught it & it was deleted before I even read my e-mail. Anyway, just trying to help.

I split these all out to a separate thread, and I'm closing it as what to do has been documented twice.

I do truly appreciate Capnvic and Skybird74 for aiding us in locating these spammers.

As Dale and I point out, click the red "!" icon at the top of the offending post and I'll be notified, and there is no posts or threads I need to delete from you folks. :w
