The ignore button doesn't work?
I'm not sure what Reddis means either - it works for me! The spam doesn't disappear from the forums, but it disappears for you as the reader, so... *shrugs*

I've been reporting the user rather than the post; if you're not a moderator @Pyure what do you do to clear them up? *Is confused*

I reported each one of those spam messages (even waited the delay time between posts) and they did not disappear for me... unless they reposted it between the time I reported it and came back to the forums.

Crazy people upstairs gave me a spam cleaning button. I don't even know.

Oh this is a misunderstanding. He wasn't trying to tell you that "reporting" a person "ignores" them, you need to explicitly click that. See the Ignore button below.

If you click on the posters name it will bring up a window. You can hit Ignore there and it will make their post disappear. Sadly Report here doesn't work like wow...rofl.

Lost as always
There's a set that has been up since sunday... it is now Thursday and they are still there, while others have been scrubbed. Not sure about the logic behind this...
