    The spam is in the form of a new thread. Most often under the Hot rods section.
    Some may miss it as they scroll right past it or hit just after the mods deleted it. I report it every time I see it and that is usually between 8 and 9 pm Pacific time.

    I had 40 reports last night which I deleted, it looked like a hit from another county and IP address.
    Keep hitting that report ****on as soon as you guys see something.

    What amazes me about the spam here is how fast it disappears.

    Nice work and thanks to whoever is doing cleanup on aisle 5 !

    I always report them, that's the least that I can do to help the site.

    On Ryan's other forum (Garage Journal) I check the IP Address using a site called Info Sniper. If the IP address is in a place that would not belong or have any interest in what the forum is about they get deleted and banned.

    There were a lot of spam threads created by the same person earlier this morning, at about 12:30AM; which I reported some of, but not all. I figured that after reporting 5 that the mods would pick up on the poster and delete all of their posts. I've never seen that many before.

    I hit the report ****on most nights as in New Zealand it appears late night in the States. I just wish the mods will delete their accounts so they don't keep coming up for birthdays and it gives a false size of the Hamb. JW

    Easier to make one report like this > Spammer with multiple posts. That way who ever checks the report knows how to deal with it. I counted 22 by one spammer but it may have extended past that.

    Ryan has (sadly) been kept busy with his other forum the Garage Journal hit with a Denial Of Service attack. The SPAM here tonight has just gone overboard.

    Read what I posted above. Make one report just advise the name of the spammer and that they have made multiple posts.

    19 out of 20 they use different names each time. I just reported another 12 and gave up as I realised I had reported the same ones earlier and they have reappeared. JW

    You should get up in the wee hours of the morning before daybreak and log in.

    Instead of sleeping like a baby through 1/4 of the day :D ;)
