When you see a spam thread just click the name on the thread and click ignore. Boom, all his threads vanish. Eventually he will stop wasting his time and move on to another forum.

Please just be sure to report it before the ignore is applied. I have banned 12 so far today.

Is there a way to autoban if a new account gets blocked so many times?

Returns are automatically stopped, 90% of new spammers are blocked too...

The thing I cannot understand this method of advertising? Does spam ever really get customers other than annoy the crap out of everyone?

Are they posted by person or auto bot or something?

No.... report it so the mods know about it instantly. I reported at least 20 different spammers this week alone.

Yeah but they just sign up with a new user name after being banned. Your only ignoring them for 1 day. They wouldn't even know they're ignored.

I find it hard to believe that it would generate any customers. However, the world is full of really stupid people like the ones who fall for those emails saying they can claim an inheritance from a wealthy Nigerian Prince or whatever. Amazingly, people have fallen for that and lost their life's savings and gotten beat up and robbed and whatnot.

Several years ago I posted one of our cars for sale on a couple of online sites, one being Craigslist. Mostly got inquiries from scammers. One particular one was from a 'woman' who claimed 'she' was looking for a car for her 16 year old son and included a web link telling me to watch the video on it and 'see if it was the same car as her son wanted'.

I'm not an idiot so I didn't click the link but googled what the link was. Google results showed it was an advertisement for car insurance. If an insurance company has to be deceitful to sell their product, so they really expect me to buy insurance from them and trust them to pay when I file a claim? I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.
