SPAM... Is it just me or has it gotten way worse?

yah, if it's only a few spam threads that might be okay, but when you have a whole page of spam, then all the real threads get pushed down...

So what is the proper procedure? Do we go to town and report ALL spam posts popping up, or just report one post per each spammer and let the Mods hunt down their other posts?

Kenchan makes a great point, I've been bumping up the spam posts all morning by reporting them, now I feel like I have become the spammer myself

AK told me to just report one post per spammer account, and the mods could erase all of that account's posts raather than reporting every post by a spammer.

I was thinking that. So I reported 1 post, and wrote "reported" on all their subsequent threads as well

But yeah, I guess it still bumps their threads...

i think that's part of their plan... they are sneaky for sure.
