Too much spam!!!

There is ridiculous amounts of spam on these forums lately. When there's only about 3/4 posts a day on a sub-forum, and 2 are spam it makes it hard to be bothered to stay around

It's frustrating me to hell... the only thing to do atm is to hit the ignore button on the bottom of the posts and the spammer will vanish from your view.

At least we know admin are ignoring the spammers as much as they're ignoring us.
It would be adding insult to injury if they were getting preferential attention

As TRD says, if you "ignore" the spammer it'll solve the problem in the short term. If you can take the time to click the report button before you do, I can then put a mass block on them for everyone else.
Thanks for the reply.
I have reported some. And have been blocking them, this seems to only block their posts though, not their thread titles when browsing through forums.

Lol- thats one way of looking at it- must admit though, I've only recently joined the forums and the lack of staffing or professional advice or assistance on her really suprizes me- and outs me off remaining here for much longer... I'm hoping its a temporary thing and they'll sort it out ASAP but guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Blah blah blah
Is there anything specific you need assistance with summer?
I did TRY doing the 'report abuse' thing for spam on the beauty boards, but most of the time it doesn't seem to go away - it just stays there. And as the boards are so very quiet, sometimes it can stay there for days and days, so I stopped even bothering to report it. I offered my services as a moderator, to help deleting it, but didn't even get the courtesy of a reply.
