Help Keep the Forum Clean and Tidy

Use the report button for this, its the icon you can find on any post with the "!". Generally this might be used for spam or other things but you can use it for any problem. While a PM to a moderator is fine the report button will alert any moderator to any problems. You can even report your own posts if for example you made a double post. Other things you might want to use it for is reporting dead or changed links in old posts, many times people post links and the resource may no longer be available they were linking to and it could even link to inappropriate content which of course wasn't the authors intention. Whatever the case may be we want to remove anything of this nature so you can help by reporting them if you come across anything like this.

Thanks for your help.

While on the topic you can also help us eliminate spam, if you find any posts with these types of things let us know so we can look into it. This doesn't necessarily mean they are spammer but it's good indication.

  • Low post count.
  • Links in signatures.
  • Links in the post.
  • Post seems like nonsense, short with no contribution. "Yes, I agree"

The low post count is usually first indicator followed by one or more of the others.
