Rest assured that no one dislikes spam more than those of us who must clean up the forum on a daily basis. Evey time a spammer is banned their IP address is also blocked to help prevent the same spammer from returning.
We do appreciate when you report said threads/posts, and make us aware of spammers using the PM system. One thing I would suggest is not to ever click on the links as it shows a hit came from a source posted here. That will only attract more cockroaches to the site. Also please do not quote their post because then we must remove the quoted post as well.
