Default Report SPAM!

Spammers are annoying for both the fightforum staff as well as the regular members.
Unfortunately we, the admins and mods, cannot delete all of it immediately since we are not around all day (yes, we do have lifes outside the internet realm ) or do not read all threads. So we are asking for your help.

Do not talk about spam within the thread, just ignore it.
Please, if you have the time, post the direct link to the spam in this very thread. So, we get to know immediately where the trouble is and can take care of it right away.

I cannot check the reported posts right now as something is wrong with my email accounts. Let's just try this idea and see how it works.

We appreciate your time, thank you.

Yes, you are the exception. I did not mention it as I did not want to sound like I was picking on you.

We will soon be taking measures to reduce spam. For one, we are going to have a questionaire at registration that will test your fight knowlege. If you get most of the question wrong, your registration will be rejected or your posts will require moderation before being displayed to ensure that you are a legit fight fan.

That is a damn fine idea right there. It will at least help ensure that the people coming here have some reasonable ammount of knowlege about the sport.

its true though, i have been a member here for well over a year and in that time the place has grown but has'nt gone to hell. i have been part of many forums under various subjects and they all get popular, get sold and end up being garbage. FF is actually for the fans of the sport and not just looking to add to its member count regardless of thier loyalty or lack of it ,to MMA.

Isn't it true that the term "spam" came from a Monty Python sketch comedy bit (back in like 1972) where they literally say spam like a hundred times? It was a diner scene and everything on the menu had spam in it.

Looks like more SPAM!
You want an introduction you got it
Why is it that they pick introduction threads for that?
