It's a dead give away when it's posted on all the forums. I actually think the names they come up with are a little funny. But it is amazing why some feel they need to send stuff like that.

Looks like they can post them faster than they can be reported, as several lately have posted in five different areas. I have tried reporting all of them one after the other and you have to wait a while between reports.

I mod on another board and we were hit with spammers sending obscene DMs to everyone. No postings. Links to a Russian p*rn site. Dozens and dozens of new users, we were banning them as fast as they were reported. Admin finally did something that made them stop, not sure what it was. Had a lot of angry members for a while though.

I have a "ghost" PM showing up as a new message on one board. The admin deleted it before I saw it, but it still shows up as new.

Those people really need to get a life.

According to https://www.quiltingboard.com/8443072-post5.html -
After clicking on that it will take you to a page where you type something in (such as "spam" "porn" "inappropriate" "please delete" or whatever) Then you will need to click on the box "Send Report" This will be sent to all the moderators.

Thank you for all your work in getting these stopped. This a difficult process and I appreciate your efforts.

Ditto Reader1. I appreciate the moderators for the time they have to spend dealing with this SPAM. I try not to let them bother me since, in this day and age, it is to be expected from time to time. I do have to laugh at some of the names they come up with. I always think, "thanks for the warning" with most of them. Lol

Yet, another, today with same title posted in 5 areas (as previous spammers-title & areas).
