    I think you beat me to it.

    Maybe I'm dumb, but what's the steps? I didn't see anything under Thread Tools...

    Click on their username and in the pop-up menu that appears the One touch ban & clean or whatever it says is at the bottom. It seems to always be there, so you can click my name and see the item. Just won't work. I hope. LOL.

    the button is even there when you click on your own username, I kind of don't feel like trying out what would happen then though.

    So far I have banned 2 spammers! :)

    Got another one. Ok, now that the novelty has worn off, I wouldn't mind not seeing any more. :)

    Is it just me, or has there really been no Spam lately? (have spam bots stopped posting?)

    Trust me, they're still posting. They're still posting ALOT. I think the reason you've been missing them is that the addition of the spam police has been a success at removing and banning spammers quickly.

    Yeah, there's no less spam. I still catch plenty and ban a few on a daily basis. Multiply that by how many space cadets there are and that's about the same as before.

    It's ok... I didn't want to be a "Spam Police" anyway... Good luck to the lucky few that have been selected for active duty.

    I'm starting to see a new breed of spammers. They'll create an account then wait days to spam
