Was that spam about the cannabis seeds for sale on the Plant ID Forum? I submitted a proposal to move it to Classifieds.

That was spam. It was posted numerous places around the site by two different usernames and was reported by 17 different members! Dealt with quickly!

Yep, I missed it too. Guess I was sleeping.

Good job and congratulations to the 17 members who reported it and of course, to Super Dave for creating a system that works.

@dave - a whole batch of spam has just been posted in Classifieds. I've reported several of the posts, but I think you'll need to clean it up. Thanks.

I reported them all. That's crazy. I mistakenly pushed the bookmark on a few, thought it was the report button.

Oh my goodness ... it does look like some Spammer has been having a field day on the Classified Forum! I'm sure @Dave or @jon will be able to take care of it.
