We're getting so much spam the last few weeks. Can the admins do something about this situation?
Not getting much of anywhere trying to contact anyone who can fix it...

As a user, you can at least block the spammers. Just hover over their name and click ignore.

Report the spammers. Not each and every post, just one report per username. I've been doing it but need help. Forum was cleaned up last week ...for a day or two.

How does one report the spamers, and too who? It's as bad as ever again.

Hi all. I am struggling to contain all the spam. There is just so much, and I only get time to visit the forum once a day. I am getting pretty annoyed with all the spam too. I am trying to contact Robert again to see if he can do anything from his side. It all seems to have gotten worse since the forum ran out of space about a month ago.

Reporting spammers does help. You don't have to report all of it though. What i have been doing is looking at the "New Posts" and just going down the list cleaning up as i go.

I will keep you all informed as I hear anything

The "Report" button is included in every post, in the lower left corner inside the text box (at least on my screen, might render differently on other devices or mobile). Does it do any good? Well it alerts the Moderator(s) if they are online, but otherwise not too much. It might make you feel good though to do so.

Even on mobile (the way I've been doing it for years) the report button is the bottom left.

Like Landuse has stated, they're doing their best to keep up with it and working on possible solutions.
