    To everyone who takes the trouble to report spam.

    To everyone who takes the time to think, "That's not right." and does something about it.

    To everyone who helps keep the site friendly, informative, and family and school safe

    It's very much appreciated folks

    cheers,

    I'll be honest i rarely if ever see spam on here, so thats kudos to the people who report it and kudos to the mods who diligently clean it up quickly

    I love spotting spam me! and corned beef as well and sometimes the odd pork pie too!With the occasional scent of rat or fish, its a sensory delight!

    I think some of the above are metty fours

    In all honesty Mary, you really are more than welcome.

    It seems pretty quiet as far as the spammers go lately (touches a lump of fat wood). Probably better software in place now but at times it was just daft.

    Am I the only one who fleetingly considered reporting the op as spam?

    You're very welcome, although it would be quicker just to make me a mod as then I could remove said spam myself, eh?

    Perhapse we could all be mods for a day, although i think it would make it a verry quiet forum as we'd all just remove the threads that we slightly dissagreed with, mabey the status quo is the way ahead, Thank you for your work.

    I just re read my post and thought it could be taken as a dig, it's not at all, i was just thinking how balanced you must have to be to be a mod, any way kissing up over, yay!!

    I did the same before I got a tab on the shoulder. Reported inappropiate threads / posts, etc. Often beat the Mod team, hence they got flooded in Reported post messages. They got tired of me reporting, so Tony made me a mod - now I have to do the cleaning up myself ...

    Thank you though guys. You make our work a lot easier!

    I have to confess I posted this thread yesterday because I'd just removed three spam threads and banned the spammers and when it came to the thank you's for those who reported them, I just kind of ran out of steam :blush: and my pm box was full and needing emptied (again), so I just thanked them all at once

    Cheers folks, much appreciated

    So what you're saying is that you spammed the whole forum to contact a small number of people? Tut tut.

    It is the black warning triangle bottom left of each post...I had to be shown it too - not as obvious as on the old forum layout...

    That wee triangle needs to be coloured red or something similar. It's just too well hidden.

    It's becoming a forum sport

    "Spot the Spammer!" who gets the first shot at them ?

    Apparantly even just two clicks on their links makes it worth while for them

    Cool ripostes though folks We need a league table of who got them first.
    I *think* I'm winning the Mods on who's banning them, but that might just be because Johan's not well.

    cheers,
