Kayhynn
Folks, I've said this repeatedly in several locations, but apparently I have not made this clear enough yet.

So time for step by step guide on how to report spam.

Incorrect: PMing/IMing only Kayhynn.

Why? Because Kayhynn sometimes cannot log in to the forums, especially cannot log in to remove posts with porn in it from work. That would get me fired. Porn = bad. Boss very anti porn.

Correct: Follow these simple instructions.

The Report Button

At the bottom of every post, on the lef, there is a report button. See the two boxes below that are circled in red.



Click the button that's at the bottom of the post that is spam. Once clicked, it will give you an area to explain why you are reporting it.

This then sends a PM and an E-mail to each moderator and forum admin. You have a lot HIGHER probability of one of us getting to it quicker than taking a random stab in the dark and pming whoever you think will get to it faster. In addition to sending us this info, it provides a link directly to the post. So all we have to do is click, instead of lookign through posts trying to find the spam (for those of you that like to tell us, there's spam but don't tell us where, there's a lot of you)

I'm dead serious about this. I received an ungodly amount of PMs and IMs from folks saying "Kay there's porn spam on the forum, fix it" and only two people who took the time to hit report on every thread found so I could easily and quickly move them when I got home.

Please. Hit REPORT any time there's spam. Do not assume someone else has done it. Bad assumption. Do not just PM us with a vague "OMG spam fix plz" PM. That's not helpful.

Thanks for the consideration on this and following through!
