Over the past few weeks, a few characters have been posting spam threads almost every day, usually to the Personals board, but to other boards as well. It's obvious that English is not their first language, and every day they register a new alt - probably because the old ones get banned every day.

What do you folks do when you see posts like that? Do you click on the links? Do you report the posts?

Personally, I never click on the links - no anti-virus software is foolproof. I usually report the posts, but I wonder if I'm flooding LadyG's inbox with redundant reports.
 
They are an active mental exercise to see if you can 'pick out the phony'...

If you fail, (IMO) you deserve the consequences. I mean, you shouldn't be out in the internet anyhow if you see:

Click here 2 seee me n@ked! ;)

and think--hey, there might be a naked picture if I click that!
