    Yes, most of the time links in signatures are allowed; but we have our ways of knowing whether such privilege is being abused

    Thank you for making it clear, Logos. Of course, I would never abuse the privilege, because I like having it.

    If you are going to report spam or controversial posts or threads, it is only necessary to report that member ONCE..

    Please refrain from reporting **multiple** posts or threads by the SAME spammer.

    We have had members abusing the reporting system and that in itself can incur infraction points or forum bannination.

    The forum rules have been updated to reflect this.

    We really really really appreciate the fact that some members take the time to bring to the Moderators and Administration's attention trouble spots or outright spam on the forums, in private messages, and profile and blog comments etc. etc.

    but

    please remember the above

    Are you just talking about instances of reporting, say, 5 spam posts that each appear in the span of maybe 10 minutes, all by the same dude in sequence?

    Because I might report spam twice a day (typically more than an hour between reports), or even more typically just twice a week or something--but I am not keeping track of the names for these spammers, could be the same guy--might very well be, but for all I know they are (or aren't...) changing login names...

    Hey! What about different spammers with different threads? This poster got four different ones today, it was like playing asteroids:

    1. A guy talking about 'footie.' Bob's your uncle, right clicked that one, this poster did.

    2. The guy talking about golf clubs. Incidentally, he's offering a really good deal. Just send him your credit card numbers.

    3. Someone with a blog-link-thing that went unclicked.

    4. Can't remember this one. Maybe it didn't happen?

    If that's bad, then whoops. Sorry. Was trying to be helpful. Will stop.

    **same** dude ? (or dude-eTTe posting about PURSES ?? ) --> yes

    That's understandable; once you send the report you don't have a record of it, and we realise that. It's someone reporting the **same person** multiple times in say, a few minutes, or 1 hour..that's the problem.

    Bingo, whack-a-mole, angry bloggerz..oh where was I.. oh yeah, multiple posters with multiple threads? or, same poster but multiple threads? it doesn't matter how many _threads_- the poster posts, reporting only 1 thread of each offender is sufficient. Hilarious interpretation/commentary welcome

    Three unique forum names, three different posts, three different skill levels in utilizing the English language. Gotta admit, the golf guy was good and this reader totally fell for it.

    The fourth one is just made up to impress the ladies. (can't remember)

    In the name of all that is truly meaty and NOT hole-y, it will be done.

    Thanks for clearing that up. Will temper the spam battle-rage that seemed to irk the blood today. There was just a flash of red, and when this poster came to, he was surrounded by bodies... so many bodies...

    So, uh, thanks again.

    Why do the spammers assume the Litnet demographic has a deep yearning to watch futboll on the internet? Seems to be a lot of links to soccer matches recently.

    Let me know if I'm getting overly diligent in reporting things, too. Like JackofHearts, the bloodlust takes hold of me.

    yes, spammers recently trying to corrupt pure-of-mind LitNetters in the evils of online gambling and pay-per-view sports, the senselessness of it all!

    But I always WANT to see streams of the latest MMA fights. It's so conflicting!
