As you have noticed, there is quite a bit of spam today. If you open a post that you suspect is spam (it's usually not hard to figure out), the best thing to do is click on the warning icon (looks like a triange with an exclamation point (!)) and type the word 'spam' for the reason and submit it. These notifications go directly to the mods who will address (when there is one on-line) and delete the post(s).

Thanks!

Or PM a Mod as most do already. And we thank you for that! In my case, the warning icon does not work and also doesn't work for Algenco. You need to PM us.

Thanks to everyone who reported spam. It helps.

I will look into it and do what I can to prevent it from happening again.

On another note, if you see new posters that have the link to AC in their post, contact one of the Mods immediately. This is how the spammers caught us, apparently.
