How do you report forum spammers?

Okay,

So I'm responding to a post like a responsible WF member and low and behold I see a post by someone who just registered today and is making nonsensical responses. What gives?
It's just so obvious that they're trying to boost their post count to sell junk.

I suppose it happens everyday but sometimes it's just aggravating!

I've never reported anyone so I just need to know how.

Thanks,

Eric

    Just hit that little triangular traffic sign on the post under the poster's name next to the online status light and the infraction cards. Then answer the questions that come up.

    Hope this helps,

      Are there any repercussions if I'm wrong?

          I understand what you're trying to say Darrel. However, it is an honest inquiry as I don't want to tarnish someone if I was the one who was actually mistaken.

          Anyway, the post has been reported.

          Thanks for answering my question though :rolleyes:.

    It's all in lighthearted fun....

    But to partially answer your question, I believe it takes several infractions before any specific action is taken.

    And with true spammers, it doesn't take long for those infractions to build up.
