We've been getting a lot of Spam threads started lately, and the mods are doing a good job of taking them down as soon as they know of them.

It's very important not to click on any links in those posts, for your own safety and to avoid helping the Spammers achieve their goals. If you click on a link, even out of curiosity, you open yourself up to malware, and you help the spammers improve their SCO, which moves them up the ladder on search engine results -- they become more visible on Google.

Good advice.
 
LOL - Only if 15 people all report the same one.
It is appreciated when someone actually posts "reported" on the thread so the next reader will know and not have to.

I'll try to remember to do that.
