When these one post spammers strike is there an option in Yabb to report them to admin or is it better to pm someone. I never click on the links they always seem to post nor reply. (One reply once). Currently I don't say anything, so is that the best action? (sorry this should have been in site questions)

Whining on and on about it only shows the spammers that they are doing their job right and encourages them to continue.  Undecided

Guys, calm down. There's no need to get so worked up over a bunch (or maybe just one Grin) of loser trolls/spammers.

I wish there was a way to get rid of Spammers, Trolls, Hackers for good Undecided.
But for such a big site SimV is doing pretty well keeping them away Shocked.
Keep up the good work Mods, And Administrators Wink Smiley
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

I noticed an issue in a post, so I tried to edit it, and I received a warning saying that I would be banned if I did it twice more, as it considered me as spamming.

Now I'm not saying that my posts are all smart, but that's a slightly harsh way of putting it!  Grin


Is that part of the master plan against the spammers?

Actually, It's been happening to me for a while.
I sent pete a pm and He said that it was probably just my browser. Hope this helps.
But Does it happen all the time?
