What is the proper procedure for flagging SPAM? Should I post a comment saying I've already flagged it? Comments in a SPAM thread (the comment will get deleted with the thread), but afraid I won't remember where all I've flagged/commented on SPAM comments. Does it make it more difficult for mods if different users flag a post multiple times? Does it really matter as long as it gets reported?

Proper procedure is (pretty much what Trips said): Report the post and post reported. This way one post doesn't get many report. Thanks. I'll post an announcement soon. Similar thing happen last year too but it wasn't this bad. It seems like every year, one specific time, this happens. I have done some stuff on the forum and I have some plan Bs. But I want to see how long this continues. If it dies down like last year, I won't go through implementing those new things as they DO require more time on my (my mods) part on a daily basis.

I really do appreciate everyone who's keep reporting. Me and the mods are doing our best to remove them ASAP and IP banning them. So, keep reporting them.

I'm just waiting for a spammer to come in and spam is thread LOL

I was waiting for that too

And look, a wild AK appeared!

shhhhhhh The wild AK is easily spooked.

Here comes the next wave of spam threads :shakes head:
It seems to happen more in the late night/early morning...

don't worry. i got this wave. I'm like a spamhunting batman.

I'm the Mod the370z deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

Somebody beat me to 6 of his/her posts but I got to flag 2 of 'em. :)

The SPAMmers are posting multiple threads per account. If you click on the user's name in the left column (above their stats) of a post, a menu pops up with a "Find More Posts by username". Makes it easy to find other SPAM they have posted.

Big :tup: to Rooster89 - he's been very busy flagging SPAM this AM. A big "Thanks!" to him and all the rest that are taking the time to flag posts.

Edit: Corrected spelling of menu option.

seeaer82 has started posting comments (vs starting a thread). Should I still post a comment saying I've reported or does that make more work for the mods?

Edit: The SPAM post I found is here.

Edit2: The aaaaaNNNNN pattern shows up again.

it's hard to do much about these other than ip ban them. I was a moderator on a different forum a while back and they were automatic programs that kept registering users and posting random spam crap

I'm not an actual mod bro. I'm not even that active here any more. I just hang out in the OG conference room and sport sections.

And of course any Porshe or Mustang or z32 thread!:tup:
