  Silver lining: (most) forum regulars have now learned how to report posts

Yes, this requires a 15 years learning "curve"

So, you’re 3 years late?


  A report button, BrickLink?

That'd be soooo complicated to develop, I must admit - please don't touch
anything.

It’s even more complicated to report problems on the Gallery (which is supposedly
not spaghetti code).

  Some suggestions:

1. Ban Nubs_Select, 1001bricks, and SylvainLS from the forum. That alone will
reduce spam by 17.4%

Agreed about one of the Sylvains...

But you forgot BrickOfFaith, wildchicken13 and UTLF; they post less but it's
then far more spammy IMHO

Thanks for the laugh, pal!

  Anybody know why there has been so many spam messages/scams on the forum the
past few months? It’s getting kinda irritating….

I like spam. That is how I found my three girlfriends. I have not met them
yet, but they keep asking for plane tickets to get to El Paso. I send the tickets
and no one shows up and they all said it was the airlines fault. So I am ready
to send them cash so they can buy their tickets.

  This depends on your default settings: with ‘Compact’ or ‘Brief’, the spam
is easy to ignore, with ‘All’ or ‘Full’ you’ll see them… but then I’m not sure
there’s people reading the forum like that

I do, but probably not many more...

Well, it takes everything to make a world

(Besides, what’s the default setting?)
