Increase in spammers?

#1

Post by atxgun »

Is it just me or is there an increase of accounts like wecaoniddmab891 and sellwowgold2 spamming the board? What's the best way to report these accounts when noticed so they can be disabled?

Click the exclamation point icon and send a complaint. Spam gets cleaned up pretty quickly. (Thanks moderators.)

You can also go to the spam web site and give them your opinion of their ancestry and their mother's personal habits, dietary recommendations, etc.

It seems to be one jerk that does this repeatedly.

Sadly, World of Warcraft gold is probably a better investment than Wall St at this point...

Yes, please report the post. And, if one of the mods is online, send us a quick PM. We try to get them out of here as quickly as possible, but we don't see them all.

Also, please don't respond to the spammers. They are much easier to find and delete when it is the last post in the thread.

Thanks, guys!
