No, all you can do is click the "Report to Moderator" button underneath any posts that you see. Mods will ban the dumbass that's spamming and delete all their posts..

Wow......


Crazy spam cager jamming up the web site this AM

This has to been done at the human level. The mods on this site are very good at keeping it clean. It must be from all of that money they're making.
As far as the jacka$$ last night, it started out as typical forum spam. Someone probably posted something to him/her and he/she got pissed and just started to flame. That is why Oliver has asked us not to engage with the spammer. Just report them.

Thank you all for spamming my inbox...

There is no real defense against spammers. Anyone can make an account, we have no invitation system here. I try to look at new accounts every couple of days and weed out suspect accounts, but every now and then they get though. Luckily we have a great community here so when you Report to Moderator, Mike and I (Oliver too) get emails with a message link. Thanks for reporting and keep them comming!

Yep. Keep hitting that "Report to Moderator" button and we will clean up the mess. As hammer pointed out, I'm making so much money moderating this web site that I'm usually out partying every day and night.

But lucky for all of us, Nick is heads down, hard at work, and sniffing out any unwanted types who might lurk around here.


And thanks to all the community members (and all you visitors, who should become members too) for making this web site informative, fun, and spam free.

I personally have had to exercise extreme poise to NOT pm spammers and rip them...which i know would be Completely fruitless and i guess, selfish in defining my own opinion. So...i report. You MODS do an excellent job in keeping our playground clean.

What does SPAM stand for anyway???
