    Default Reporting Spammy posts

    Hi members!

    Seems like more spammers are joining our forum because it is getting more popular

    BUT SPAM SUCKS.

    Thanks in advance to the members that use the report a bad post icon
    located at the top right of every single post. Clicking it reports the post to the moderators and me that can take care of it.

    Sincerely

    Marko

    I totally missed the icon I propose we have a "report a bad post" icon test day maybe every thirty days knda like the emergency broadcast system. "Had this been an actual spam message it would have been deleted by Marko...This concludes the report a bad post icon test"

    No way are you driving us crazy 42 and others - We NEED to see these reports to get rid of the spammy posts. I hate seeing them!

    I check my email more often than this board so when I see the reported post email, i can act on it quickly.

    Thx!
