Suggestion: report forum spam in this thread
Started January 4th, 2012 · 38 replies · Latest reply by Timbre 12 years, 4 months ago
Maybe they can make a button or something, so we can mark it as spam?!
Timbre and Marius,
please just send us the spammer names (even even better: a link to their profile) via the contact form and we'll take care of them. We really DO need a "report as spam" button in here! 
As you might see all of these have already been deleted.

Another suggestion
Err it just occurred to me that this thread could get unfeasibly long.
Perhaps moderators could delete the spam report post from this thread when the spam links reported therein have been dealt with.
But if you’re going to do that please be careful that you don’t treat a spam reporter like a spammer and delete all their posts.
A publicly viewable list of reported spam does have the advantage that people know if a report about a particular post/poster has been made : this avoids multiple persons sending messages via the contact form* reporting the same spammer.

[ PS if this thread, which I started, is creating more work for moderators rather than reducing it, please feel free to delete it ]

Looks like spam, not entirely sure, but I feel it should be removed anyway unless you have verified this person is genuine.
