Correct answer Claudio González

Carlos, there are two ways, that are complementary:

1. When you open one of those messages, go to the Actions sidebar, click on the Report Abuse button

and follow the easy instructions. As soon as a mod sees your report, that specific message will be deleted (as well as any similar ones the mod may notice at the time).

2. Open the profile of the author of the message, and copy his URL from the bar at the top of your browser:

Then go to the Spam report thread,

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056334?tstart=0

and post there the offender's URL. This will allow furum-admin to ban the offender even if the message(s) have already been deleted by a mod.

It is a quarter of an hour after midnight here, and it sounds as if we are under another kind of attack.

Happy New Year all.

I am afraid we have a renewed attack.

thanks guys for such amazing job, I'm back to see the first flood was deleted and as Jacob said there's a new one coming in.

Dave, how is the deletion handled? just curious, is it manual or do we have crew bots fighting spamming bots?

Manual!

Carlos, I have just done both things, but it won't hurt if you do them again...

Carlos,

What Claudio said, except that in this case I believe it is better to link to the thread because of the seemingly endless number of screen names/accounts.

The Spam thread is probably the better, and more manageable option here.

In any case, hi Carlos, hi Claudio.

Hi, Jacob, I did not notice your message when I posted my last one.

Thank you very much for coming to our rescue, Claudio.

All is well now.
