    For the love of... INSTALL A BLOODY SPAM FILTER!

    Really? 5 pages of spam, and your system can't block that? Have never seen any forum so disease ridden in this day and age. It happens way too often too.

    We have several measures in place, however we're limited in what we can do without adversely affecting legitimate users as well. The web team cotinue to monitor the situation for options that may improve the filtering without making your posting experience more tiresome.

    In the mean time, the forum team do their best to manually deal with the stuff that slips through. Should you see something that needs dealing with, you can report the culprit by clicking the "Report this post" button in the lower left corner of one of the offending posts. It's a small, pale grey triangle with a "!" mark just to the left of the social media button. It's only necessary to report one post for each spam account, the first available staff member will be notified and deal with the issue from there.

    So there IS a report button. Grey on grey is a tiny bit hard to see even on a well calibrated monitor.

    Perhaps you could color that Yellow. I never noticed the Exclamation Mark in that corner, and I've looked for it in the past. On two occasions I've PM'd a Moderator to report a post because I couldn't see a report button. I'll assume 50% of the blame for not taking more time TOO look for it, if you'll assume 50% for not highlighting it so that it could be found more easily.

    ^This, it's purely Ubi being cheap. I've surfed on some pretty big and active forums and I never see the amount that gets through here.

    And here's another thing, those that do such things are only going to target you more the more you let it happen, and making up excuses isn't helping.
