Re: Stopping Spam
One thing I've been doing as a warning to others is just posting a simple message after the spammers to the effect of "Spam, ignore it!" until the mods can take care of it. I've been doing this ever since I was PM'd by another user on here that had clicked one of the links (not knowing it was spam at first) and they were taken to another site they didn't expect and it wasn't what the spammer had listed.
In reality you're never going to be able to stop the spam 100%. If you've looked closely at some of the spammers that have showed up on here they have even taken the time to build a basic profile. The spammers just have to be dealt with as they show up and the admins and mods have done a good job so far with them. So as Beth said, report the post and if you want post something like I mentioned above to warn others who may not realize it's spam until the proper people are able to deal with it.
