Although I'm not spam police, I just wanted to notify you guys that camera_8686 has been posting ads for cameras on many threads in the 'Upcoming Games' and 'iPhone/iPod Games' catergories. I can't ban him since I'm not the Spam Po-Po, and I'm not sure if what he's doing is even considered spamming, but I've noticed it happen more than once.
I don't know if someone's banned him already, just wanted to bring it to everyones attention.

Still General Gaming is plagued by relentless spam yesterday and today. I tried staring really intensly at it and concentrating a little but my efforts are fruitless for still it remains, mocking me. Even The Bat Out of Hell in all his prowress has proved lackluster at lulling this threat. What next?

When visiting the site on a mobile device, there is a bold 'B' next to my name. The only other members that seem to have this as well are backtothis and echoseven. What is it for?

Here's a pic:

EDIT: They seem to have disappeared and replaced with the green "online" dot.

Where is there a report button? Can't find it anywhere, not in the thread tools or one of the raised buttons...

There's a report icon above each post. It's a triangle with a red border.

If you hover your mouse over it, it displays "report post".

It's always overlooked by many, maybe it should simply read "report post" instead of an icon.
Possible?

Thanks! This feature sure is hard to find, but now if I see spam, I will help out by reporting it.
