    The first page of introduce yourself is full of spam.

    I managed to kill everything past that.

    Thanks! :) It was the first 3 pages of intro at one point so we've made some progress. It just seems to go on and on and on........ I can understand the frustration others on this thread have doing it night after night. I'm not able to be here every night but if this is 'normal' than it's, well, just feels endless. As many as you flag, 50 more take the place in other sections.

    I agree, there must be SOMETHING besides members doing this manually that can be done???????? If we're now at the lowest setting for spam and it's this bad now.. What's the next stage for this @Olivia ?

    exactly I won't be flagging any further spam. If Mods are on they can see it too...not sure why we the users are expected (and we are or the spam flag wouldn't be there) to monitor the boards...

    Esp for premium members...if that option ever comes to Canada until this is stopped I won't pay.

    Introduce yourself is clean right now. But if it's a mass spammer they'll be back.

    From what I understand, they're investigating options that involve not diverting time/money from features that have been promised since the October 2014 time frame...

    If the users don't want to flag the spam, the mods can still get em once they're online, I imagine. The five flags just gets it off the forum faster, but it appears the mods are indeed checking for spam once online. I'd still like to see them name a spam killer/mod that is normally awake during the worst spam hours, though (not sure if there is one right now??)

    Don't flag spam anymore

    i think when moderators have the time to get excellent threads offline...then they have time to remove spam too.
