    And they are out earlier than usual. I generally see them just before dawn and report them then. :mad:

    Mike, yep, all you do is click on the REPORT box and a box will pop up where you have to put in something in the text. Even *********** will work. You run no risk of harm to yourself by doing that, the only potential risk is if you post something on the thread itself.

    I know we are all tempted to put "reported" or "Get lost" as a reply, but it does no good and can open you up to getting some stuff erased, they tell me.

    I was rooting for Kristin and Robert to get back together but thankfully, I didn't voice my opinion. :rolleyes::p

    I know. I am very distraught. Tonight at the grocery checkout I read where Kim Kardashian is so upset because she can't find love that she might have a nervous breakdown !!!!!! :eek:

    Life is SO hard sometimes !! :rolleyes::D

    I think the anti spam trial is working on the Garage Journal forum as I have only seen one deleted spammer today. We have had issues with new posters unable to add photos on the GJ but I think Ryan will get on top of that fast so if it works on the GJ it will no doubt soon be implemented here on the HAMB to help slow those spammers down.

    Lets keep this thread about the spammers.

    And not so much about the garbage they pollute our site with.

    A lot more Spammers today. Sadly they are using titles that make me check them out. My first REPORT also. Too bad members are still commenting on their posts.
     
  17. Well, :rolleyes:... then you might consider temporarily changing the the signature line at the bottom of your posts to read like mine to help spread the word. :D

    Please report SPAM posts in the forums, but DO NOT REPLY TO THE POST.

    There have been several new Spam posts today and several members have commmented. Please note my temporary signature...... I am only a fairly new member but try to keep this forum fun.
    The black REPORT button is below the avatars. Simply click on it when you open a Spam post.

    They are even showing up earlier in the day now, there is one posting right now. :mad: He says he is from London, so we should have Langy stop by and beat the hell out of him. :D

  30. Or you could all chip in and buy me a plan ticket, I am really frustrated these days and a good beat down may make me feel a little better.
