Mozilla with the FREE Adblock plus Addon will remove nearly all of it. Use the "Easylist" filter when installing Adblock Plus. I don't see ANY of the spam on this site and many others.

I wonder if the @sshats that post the spam hate recieving spam themselves in their inboxes?

really annoying to have all this spam floating around..

The spam is awful. And I notice several from the same source. I would of thought they would ban them once they put it on.

I can handle the spam better than all the timeouts I get.

MuleyHunter-

I 100% agree but posted that in the technical forum..."we're working on it" was the reply.

I've not been here regularly for a little while, I guess there's been some changes in ownership, hosting & so forth?
I truly appreciate this site as a great resource. However, in this digital- sooner- than -now world these seemingly trivial issues really are irritating & do, IMO, detract from the quality of the user's experience.

In regards to spam - we try to remove it as fast as we find it! Sorry for the inconvience it causes.

You can help us by reporting it. Just use the yellow triangle sign found on the lower right of any thread you open. By clicking the yellow trianlge it generates a e-mail response that goes to all Moderators and Admins of HNI. That way ,if one of us is gone - which has been my case lately as I hunt - soemone will remove it.

Thanks for yor patience and understanding

Ditto what JW said. The sooner a member reports spam, the sooner we can remove it, remove any additional posts by the spammer and PERMABAN the spammer. Thanks to GM54 for the tip on Adblock for Mozilla. I just installed it and am now trying it.
