OB Spammers!!!
Marty & Mods,
I didn't know where to report this spammer, so naturally I started a new thread. Maybe we could use a place to make these types of reports.
This user is a spammer: lwb1417d

Thanks Royal 
Gosh, it's good to have you back with us!
I have removed 11 posts from this spammer and they are now permanently banned.
Any time a member sees what they think is spam, all they need to do is issue an infraction by clicking the little yellow/red flag above the spammers Join Date (top right corner of info panel).
This will automatically send a notice to all mods and admin.
Thanks

Ah, I wasn't sure what to press so I clicked on the 'Report Post' on one of that users posts.
Does that do anything useful or is the 'infaction' one better if I see anything like that in the future?

OK I'm lost here (like always). Where exactly do you see the spam? I have not seen anything weird (well except me)

As long as our members notify us as soon as they see something suspicious, we can get it off the board very quickly
Thanks everybody

As a side note, I thought Marty placed a minimum post number before anyone could post a for sale thread? Does this need to be tightened?
