    Are We Getting Spammed?

    Seems to be a bunch of new threads, with nothing but gibberish, post after post.

    Seemed concerning.

    (Just as a quick off-topic aside: I figured out the way to rid of all the extra space at the tail end of a post. Always go back to Edit mode when you have finished posting, and press Enter after your last sentence. Hold the delete key down for about three seconds, and it rids of the "phantom space")

    Hi Jody -

    Yes, to the spam attack.

    Trying to stay on top of it. But if you see any we missed, there's a button you can click beside each post that will alert us.

    I think MetroMPG is talking about the little grey triangle with the exclamation mark on it. It's on the right side of the "Thanks" button. Looks like each post has it. Took me a while to figure it out because I didn't know what he meant by the "button" on the post.

    There doesn't seem to be a way to flag a garage entry though.

    Yeah, I knew what he meant, but you're right, the triangle was indeed missing there. Thanks!

    I just received a private message from this user, regarding some gambling ad. I deleted it, but the user appears to be a spammer.

    Just a heads up.

    Also, if you go look at the garage entry list, the entire first page is bots

    Yeah, looks like we had a bunch. I think I got them all. If there is more, please use the 'report post' button. Looks like a triangle with an ! in it under the user's post. We'll get them cleaned up.
