It really ticks me off that people use this message board to spam...like for tv shows etc. I have noticed an increase in the last few weeks. especially when their message starts with a cancer related line. They are taking advantage of people. What is the proper protocol to alert the administrators and block these people from posting?

    It's been heavy....Just..

    It has been heavy. The same person is doing it. Fake name and has links to non pertaining things. At the botton just click on FLAG.

    I have been flaging one a day, and on about six boards that get high traffic. I will go away for a while then come back.

    Thanks Bill

    Appreciate the response. Maybe the steam has stopped coming out of my ears now.

    I've been hitting the "flag this"

    button on the lower right corner.  The Admin's then take it down.  This happens every once in a while....generally we don't have much of a problem with it.

    And you only have to flag it in one message.. The admin will kill it in all messages from that..
