You have someone spamming the boards with offensive (well, to some maybe) material.

Sent a few reports but wanted to get your attention asap!

Many have reported it to a Moderator (I did when I saw the first one come up).   Everyone punting those threads to the top, isn't helping though.

I checked his stats and he's posting in every area. Skuzzy is going to be busy tomorrow.

Many of us have reported him.  I did so on the first one I saw, in Planes & Vehicles, and then on the second one in Wishlist with the added info that he is posting them in all public forums.  I do wish people would not post in those threads though.

Me too.  it is hard to protect a public discussion broad.  But is there a way that you can set up a program that blocks this kind of crap?

QFT.   They want the threads to not be visible to kids, but they punt them right to the top, instead of the threads below them.   Skuzzy will find the threads regardless of "where they are", but they have to bump them.

Every time I log in there is a big blue "new" next to the unread threads.  Since this happened overnight, it is not like it's going to be on page 2,3 or 4.  Additionally when Skuzzy logs on, it will be the first one he sees.  So whether it is "bumped" or not, it still will be on page one, and I can't believe it would make that much of a difference whether it is in position 1 or 10.  It sort of stands out from the rest.

...and there was no need to give the idiot the attention he desired by spamming this forum.  Report and don't reply. :aok

Sounds like I'm happy to be "busy" this week.  Running a forum myself, I cannot stand spammer punks.
