    This happens every time we move to a new software version. It just takes a while to close all the loopholes, but we'll get it locked down for sure. Thanks in advance for your patience.

  5. The old version had the complain button on each users message posting so we could quickly report those spammers easily. I don't see it in this version. That seemed to clean things up pretty quickly. Is there a new way to do that with this software?

    Hey Guys, the spammers seem to concentrate on the top two forums (Announcements, Trading) and I go thru those a number of times each day to clean things up. As Baron said please be patient and we'll get the loopholes closed up shortly. In the meantime best not to click on any links in those new threads or you might be whisked off to China... :)

    What happened to the post about the sex toys? :confused:

    The demand was overwhelming enough to clean the available supply at that level. The post had to be removed until they re-stock. They might jack up the prices this time around as they have read Wyckoff.

    You might need to act faster this time around Db, or you'll be left empty handed again!

    Noticed there is no complaint option on posts like of old. Will this feature return as you tweak it? Stupid to start a thread every time someone spams the board.
