If you have reported something that is especially bad, and none of the moderators seem to have been around for a while, PM me, I'll see it next time I check email, and I'll make a special trip to JD to clean away the spam posts.

Thanks for helping us out by reporting them.


Ras, I think there may be a way to stop these individuals from getting in here and invading the forum with this stuff.

You'll have to go into the Admin Panel though, and see if there's a provision there for stopping guests from posting or making it so that any new recruits have to get the admin's final approval before becoming posting members.

It will stop others from becoming members right away, but at least, it should help keep out the riff-raff.

I've had to do this at my forum to stop an individual from repeatedly resurfacing, coming back and reregistering himself under newly assumed names after being banned. Give it a try please, and see if it works.

It's the only way I know of that should keep out the bad guys.

Just thought that I'd try to help. Good luck!
