Something that you can click to send the admins a link to spam posts? We sometimes seem to be getting people who either did a partial match on the forum URL to try and figure out what the forum was about, or thought "Megasquirt" means entirely the wrong thing... :?

Unfortunately such a button can be misused too... If you see such posts please post in the General topic and one of us will get to it.

Luckily, most of the spammers already post in the General topic where you can conveniently find them, with rather obvious subject lines. :)

There's a MOD for phpBB called Textual Confirmation which has eliminated spam & spambots on my very small phpBB. It seems to be a very worthwhile addition.
