If you're serious about this forum then you'll understand.

I rather thought that Admin and the moderators did a good job in deleting spam fairly quickly but if you can point me in the direction of this "epidemic" I will gladly delete it.

I'll admit there's been more spam lately but Ian and myself have generally deleted it quite quickly

I think you do a great job of keeping these Forums "clean", some of the larger buinsess Forums are just a one-posters paradise

I admit that admins and moderators are doing their best, with deleting the spam posts.

Maybe it could be good idea to package between the members using a "Report Bad Post" button if that's its use.

As a matter of fact I saw this button before but just today, after Ian's post I have a thought to use it for spam...

Please use that button to report spam as it will send an email to Admin and the moderators if they are currently not logged into the forum.

Unfortunately the dividing line between spam and acceptable promotion isn't always obvious and what is acceptable to one person may be spam to another.
