Report spam / spammer post issues here (PLEASE read wikipost)
 

I can't even report them as fast as they're posting :D

Attachment 12857

etc.

Feel free to report such spam attacks to the mods whenever you see it. This particular one was taken care of in about 30 minutes this morning.

BAM!

^^^^^

Thank you for your concern.

The "local" forum moderators can be contacted:

Clicking on http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/image...ons/report.gif pops up a message box; the message goes to all Moderators of a forum, or to the four Senior Moderators if there are no appointed Moderators. Note that unlike some sites with paid staff moderators, FlyerTalk Moderators are volunteers, and most work, travel, go on holiday, etc.

If there is one Moderator, or it's a big deal like this spambot explosion, try sending a PM to the forum Moderator(s) and the Senior Moderators: currently, Moderator2, oliver2002, Prospero and Ocn Vw 1K.

Aced. Thank you.

User james119 is going on a spam attack right now - I'm alerting mods as I see them pop up.

Edit: Wow, that was fast, already suspended! :)

A new spammer with 3 jpg links attached to posts in 3 fora so far:

Thank you. I've notified the Moderators in the Information Desk forum of those posts; the poster has been banned.

Looks like Ron grabbed them on a sitewide cleanup. Thanks from HKG!

This one just showed up in ID Forum:

Swatted. Thank you.

It's usually aster to report the spam posts by using the "report post to moderator" function. If the forum has appointed Moderators, it will go to all the forum Moderators; if there are none, it will go to the four Senior Moderators, who have cross-forum "powers" and flush the insects out across FlyerTalk.

Here's another, poisoning MilesBuzz, Hotel Deals & ID Forum now. Seems to be the cousin of ajthe who showed up the day before.

Looks like someone took care of this one.

Thanks for clearing the June 2 16 spam so quickly.

Thank you.
