Hey guys, sorry about the spam lately... Do me a favor, if you see spam on this forum report it by pressing this button:

You will find it on the left hand side of every post. Just press that button on the post in question.

Thanks!

Ryan

Ryan;
A lot of the spam does not have the report button. I sure would have done so if it had been there to press. Somehow the spammers have been able to disable that function. While I don't look at the V8 forums very often seem that the only subject to get hit are the Model T and Q&A to the editor sections.
Thanks

Agreed with RMT... no spam report button on these threads, and I dont read the A or V8 forums. I sure as HEKK wouldnt have pm'd you about it otherwise. ws

Me too, often the report button is not there.

So you guys don't see this button, right?

Ryan,
Yes we see it on normal post, it is not present on some or all of the spam post. We are talking about the spamer(s) that put groups of spam with the same name. You may see it at your end but it's not seen at our end. This has been brought up before so it's been going on for a while.
Thank you
MarkG

Two out of the 5 by "dhnyawad" on Q&A have report buttons. When you open the window to read the messages that do not have the report button there are two "Post Reply" buttons showing, if you click on the top one you get a message to contact the site administrator. Hope this helps figure out whats going on.

Too bad we can't push a button here that would fry the spammers computer ...only in the movies I guess
