It's spam, I've reported one from earlier to the mods, depends on how long it takes them to pick up on the report.

Surprised they got in here. I moderate another site and we have things under control right now but get attacked regularly.

I left your two posts here so we can have a little discussion about the spam. Jim deleted the one opp2 reported (and another) earlier today. We won't get the poster deleted until Judy gets the notices tomorrow morning.

These things do crop up from time to time. Please always notify moderators when you see one, we can usually delete the posts very quickly. Getting the account shut down sometimes takes a little longer.

Jan, I deleted the spam itself. I just wanted to leave the rest so Kaybo et. al. would know what is going on.

Boy, you don't frequent the forum for a few days and you miss all the fun  ;)

Thanks for the explanation, Steve.

thanks all for helping to keep a keen eye here for spam posts. There has been an increase in them lately and measures are being taken to make sure they do not occur (as Steve has noted) -- to help keep the site "clean" from these kinds of posts and on track for what the site represents.  As Steve noted, if you see any posts that are questionable, please press the "Report to Moderator" button, add your comment and we will investigate if action is needed.

Thanks again all for helping to keep our "home" clean.

I didn't see any of the posts you guys are referring to, but I want to be able to hit the "report to moderator" button!  So, I'm on a new mission now to find some spam!

spam posts have now gone *poof* and yes, if you all see any, please press "Report to Moderator".

... and for now, let's keep continuing our usual, helpful, supportive, halo-dropping, hat knitting, AN discussions.  All is well! :)

thanks again, all.

Does the RED phone connect to the Mod-Jet?  I know those moderators are always taking vacations - wouldn't want them to be Spam-less.
