So....Why are we all of a sudden getting all this spam posts? Is it the new format or just the way things happen over time with any good thing? Kinda bummer.....

Best thing to do is hit the REPORT POST button to send out a notification. Obviously don't click links and replying doesn't help.

Awesome advice! I've been out working in the pasture all day and went to my parents house for dinner. I actually love banning these idiots. Don't get to do it much.

I can't use the "air" skin because of what it makes my desktop look like so I use the "normal" skin on my phone. I reported 17 topics using my phone and the original forum skin, which isn't very easy. There was 20 topics started by that username when I started but someone had already reported three of them.

Sorry for the confusion.

Okay, I got the report but when I hit "ban" on the first report, the user account is deleted and everything associated with it posts and reports, are deleted.

Greetings
Saw that title and thought this might be another thread with new cooking ideas.
Lots of onions is still my favorite all fried in bacon grease. Course every thing tastes good with onions in bacon grease. But maybe a "spamer" all fried up would still be a hazard.
