I know all of the regular users in the forum and as tired of the spam here as I am. The reason these "people" put it here is that it helps to add weight to their websites. The more links they have the higher their search engine numbers get.

We can help them out even more by leaving them here. OR we can get rid of them by clicking on the spam button at the top left of their post. As soon as enough of us click on the spam button it will automatically be deleted.

I am tired of it so please help me in removing the spammers.,

Thanks

We all have asked for that for years. But this is something we can do now.

It takes several (Not sure how many) spam clicks to auto remove a spam post. I try to go through every day and give a quick look and see if I spot any spam and click on the spam button. It only takes me a couple of minutes to glance over it. I have see quite a few disappear when I click on them so I know the system works.
Yes it would be nice to get decent forum software here that would require registration with valid email addresses and names. This would help to get some of the spam off of here and probably help with the trolls also. But until that happens we as users need to do what we can to police our forum.

We need a moderator for these forums.
That is the ONLY way to avoide spammers
