Spam Posts

As has been posted on the basketball and baseball boards you read, all you need to do is report the spam.

To be clear:
1) If it's on the general, baseball or basketball boards, leave it alone. Do not respond to it, do not report it. I read those and will delete the spam, so there's no need to report it (which just sends me an email message and clogs my inbox and delays the time I get here). (Now, if I miss something, and it's there for more than a day or so, report it).

2) If it's on the testing board, just ignore it. I delte those as a matter of course.

3) Report items on other boards, AND THEN ENTER A ONE WORD MESSAGE "REPORTED." Do NOT use the quote feature to do this. If you see that message, do not also report the spam. And, if the same person has spammed multiple messages, or there is multiple sapm in a single thread, do NOT report all the different messages. One message per thread and per spammer is all that is needed.

4) Do not quote or otherwise respond to the spammer.
