SPAM Threads - Website bugs

Ok, so there have been a lot of spam threads of late.

Annoying though it is, rather than simply posting a reply, report it to RW Towers - it is the quickest way to get the thread removed, otherwise it sits at the top of the hot threads and the new threads.

It wont take any longer than it does to post a response - just goto the 'report thread to moderator' which is towards the bottom of the page, under the text box.

RW - Is there anyway yuo can ban users with a particular IP address, as per Intermanuts suggestion???

I think quite a few people report in spam threads.

RW have banned IP addresses before. They did that with Kef.

RW - I still think it'd make sense if you gave some forumites some form of mod power to delete spam on weekends and in the evenings. Surely it'd save you all time.

LN, that is a good idea (and something I think was talked about ages ago). I also think it would be useful to indicate when a thread has already been reported, it would save the mods having to wade through loads of duplicate reports.

Surely RW Towers and their tech bods could allow forum members to closedown
spam posts. I know other forum sites where a spam post can be automatically closed
after 10 members reporting it. Then again, giving power to us lot might be a step too far.
We could close any post relating to Bromley.
