We do our best to keep the forum clean, but the stuff comes in waves, and if it comes at moments when no mods are on, yeah the forum can be flooded for a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience!

@hillbillybonez: And you and other active forum members else can help keep the forum spam-free.

When you see spam posts, report them. Hover your mouse cursor over the lower right-hand corner of the offending post, and the hidden menu should appear. Click on the second menu item ---- a black triangle with a white exclamation point ---- that's the "report content" option. All you have to do is enter "SPAM" in the space provided in the pop-up report. This makes it much easier and faster for the moderators to identify, locate and delete spam posts, and block the spammer's account.

Cheers.

Aye, Thank you both for the help and Explanations!

Also it can help to login on a game (en game in this case) and see if there's a mod in the chat to whom you can tell that the forum is getting flooded.

I tried to report the spam, but I can't do that.

I cant write the subject.

@DomMax: You can't write "Spam" in the pop-up "report content" dialog box? That's all that's required, Max. See my instructions above:
