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)
Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

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

We've survived far worse attacks than this current one guys, don't worry all the mods are well and truly on the case with this, just don't respond to any of their idiotic threads and let us deal with it

Bet there's quite a few colorful posts about that pita Romulus....

Albert Einstein - "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
Martin Luther King Jr. - “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

I wish there was a way to get rid of Spammers, Trolls, Hackers for good
.
But for such a big site SimV is doing pretty well keeping them away
.
Keep up the good work Mods, And Administrators
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!
Is that part of the master plan against the spammers?

Yikes! Better make note of that.

Posting this fast is considered spamming, you are warned!
You are only allowed 1 more attempt(s) after which you will be banned as spammer!
Penalizing everyone else is not an acceptable solution.

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?
