Just report the thread and an email gets sent to me directly. I can ban the spammer, his IP, and delete all his posts in one click. :D

Click the report button on the post...
Then, if it's cathartic, post something witty and denigrating (but having no real utility) below it, so Reggie can dump the whole thread safely.
BTW, I just reported two of the four by the spammer in question; all four are down now. Probably someone beat me and reported them first, but Reggie's pretty good about yanking them.
Edit: Man, am I slow...

I run in Classic mode, never saw the report button.
Thanks.
/edit as you described it, and did not mouse over the little red triangle.

Sorry to hijack the thread
@Reggie: what is the best way to contact you, the admin? I tried the "to contact" button, in several menu, they all return error 404.
TIA,

You can either send me a note via the Contact Us link: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/sendmsg.php
or PM me. :)
Click the report button on the post....
The last time I tried I got a message telling me that I don't have enough permissions.
