Administrators, please?

I just scrolled past it and figured it'd be gone when I came back from my ride. Some of the spam that gets through here is pretty subtle. Yesterday's particular instance, it wasn't like the admins were going to miss it when they logged in.


ETA: which is why I think a lot of people thought the OP was snarky. No one needed to do anything to get the admins to notice 15 copies of an obvious spam message.

At least someone understood that I had asked a question - and posted an answer.

Sorry if you took offense, Tx Doc. CA indeed answered your question.

I thought I would add a bit of background to it, if in the event this happened again, and if someone might be curious to see how this is generally handled.

Again, sorry if our elaborating on this topic offended you.

Yes, that was exactly my thought.

I moderate a group and people really don't realize what's involved. If you are 98 percent successful at something, everyone still natters on about the other two percent.

I also greatly prefer that problems/questions be sent to the moderator privately. In some cases (though probably not this one) that prevents a lot of problems.

I didn't intend to be obnoxious.

No offense
Sometimes I visit another forum where we get this multiple spam problem quite often. The common use there is to start a new thread with the word 'admins' or 'administrators' in the title, asking to fix the issue. It works, I have no clue how, but usually within a week or so the spam disappears. So I figured it would work here too.
Now that I found the button on TE, I'm curious to look and see if there's one on the other forum too...
