Hi Mods,
I just reported a spam post and also sent you a PM to check out that member. I can never remember how to send you a PM and have to go find a particular thread which has a link to do it. It occurred to me after I sent the PM that it might be useful if there was a "Report User" button, next to the "block user" button in each user's profile. Perhaps it could be made so it appears automatically on a new user's profile and then goes away after a certain time or number of comments (a larger number than a spammer would be likely to make).

Such a feature would make it very easy to alert you mods when a new spammer appears on the boards, and having it disappear after a time would make it hard to misuse it against established forum members.

    Thank you for the suggestion, curveball! We'll definitely look into it.

    In the meantime, a couple of changes that were implemented last year are intended to help make it easier to contact the Mods:

    1. A link to send us a PM is always included in the signature of all our posts.
    2. When you go to Private Messages from the blue menu and click on the Compose New Message button, the pull-down "To" menu always includes Moderators among your other recipients.

    .

    I thought there must be an easier way to do it than find that one thread!
