They seem to have been online constantly for the past 12 hours—their green indicator never goes dark.

Invasion of Body Snatchers???

John,

[mister bob]

Does this guy 'oscarmous' know who he's dealing with?  We know people who know people... 

[stillivor]

Hope a moderator turns up soon.

[John Kim]

The moderator is Scott. I don't think he visits the site as often as he used to these days. So, he may not be aware of this problem yet  .

John,

Wow, that was a lot more than just your regular spammer!  That was an insane amount of spam!  

For all:  If you click on "Report this Post" in one of the offending posts, I'll get an email on my Blackberry and will make an effort to get on the website ASAP to fix these types of problems.

Thanks to the User that reported this latest spammer!!!

Scott

I'm very relieved about all that. very very.

[btw, without wishing to sound too forward,and merely out of idle interest how does a newbie get to be an administrator?]

Anyway, you did a great job -thanks.

As the "Administrator", I don't post very often.  The Administrator and Moderator have different authority levels (and ability to clean things up) in the forum software.  

...either that or...

I appear in public as Bruce Wayne, but when needed I turn into...

While you're there sperlbruce. , I have a question outstanding in admin, about not understanding the step-by-step process of quoting.

As a technophobe, it has to be explained as to a near-idiot of nine.

Ta.

Todd,

Aha.

 Got it apart from the purply ness. That didn't happen just by pressing quote. Told you it had to be idiot-proof.

Nearly there.

I am a co-moderator on a Yahoo forum on an unrelated topic and I have the capability to approve/disapprove applications for membership at that forum.  Applicants must show some knowledge of the topic to demonstrate their worthiness of membership acceptance for me to give approval, which separates the spammers from the legitimate applicants.  Though I can't remember if that was the same procedure required here when I joined the Mahler Board, is there a similar membership acceptance process in effect here?
