Spam Posts

Isn't there someone monitoring this site to keep out spam posters? I seem to see one or two a week that come in my RSS feed...

As far as I know, Alex, the site owner, is the only Moderator of this VERY busy website. I'd cut the guy some slack - since it's free for Users, he probably has a "real" job to pay his bills. I've found him to be very interested in keeping things running, but nothing about this site is instant or perfect. And one or two spam posts per week for a site like this is nothing. I subscribe to other sites that get dozens of spam posts per day.

One thing you (and everyone) can do when you find a spam post is click the "Report" link on the bottom left corner of the post window. There's a yellow triangle icon. Just put the word "Spammer" in the reply window, and send it off. Alex has replied to me several times, thanking me for reporting the spammer to him. The spam post then disappears.
