In recent weeks we've seen a couple of spammers "come and get kicked out". Now there's one that seems to have some longevity in Manny's forum (at least there are some people replying to his assinine post).

Question: is there any way that some members other than the various forum mods can have access to an ability to boot the daylights out of these clowns before anyone has a chance to reply to them? Do we have to always notify the individual forum mod and/or admin to raise the red flag for the obvious spam?

And a comment: for all regular members. When you see this crap being posted, don't reply to it in any way, shape or form. Notify "whomever" and then move on. The very fact that their topic stays on the "new posts" list is sufficient reward for them to post in the first place. Thanks.
