Yesterday, I was later than usual in checking out the forum.

I clicked on Quick Links/Today's Posts:

I was greeted by 4 pages of spam, postings of Korean gambling spam.

Quite a number of the posts had been viewed several times (up to 20 in some posts), although it escapes me why anyone would want or bother viewing the posts?

That spam had already been there for several hours, so someone should have reported it, right?

I noticed that, as well as users logged on to the forum, someone had also replied to a post after the spamming had taken place.

But the spam was still there!

Eventually, the spam was removed.

Please, may I remind everyone that if you see spam you should report it - it's not someone elses job to do that, it's everyone's duty as a forum member to report it.

If you don't know how to report spam, it's quite simple:

Viewing a spam post in question, there is a small warning triangle in the bottom left of that post, click on that and a report post page will open.
