Click or tap, depending on your device, on the red symbol with the exclamation mark, bottom right corner of the posts. That reports the posts. I already did that for the one in Plant ID, didn't see the others.

I reported them all immediately when they first posted. Dave and Family must be having some well deserved family time. They'll be banned soon, I'm sure.

I'm not sure how it works, so I could well be wrong, but I thought that a certain number of reports on a post triggered some automatic removal mechanism. So maybe not enough people have reported them? I'm pretty sure there was one in Plant ID, I know I reported one somewhere, and it has gone.

He has posted in 7 forums that I can see. I clicked on the red exclamation mark and hopefully, the Whitinger family will soon take action. (They could sure use a vacation!)

Ah, greene's picture reminded me - I think the one I clicked on earlier was in Insect and Bug ID, not Plant ID.

I think there is some magic # of red reports that must be submitted to trigger the system to automatically remove spam. I'll also call @Dave to this thread, which may be a quicker way to make them go away.
