When you see someone spamming / trolling.

[FlipMode]

What you should do
Report it
Ignore it
If no staff are online, and you can contact them, do so.

What You Should Not Do
Reply to it IN ANY WAY

And why not? Because now when the troll / spam bot or whatever is banned, your message saying "WTF WHY YOU POST THAT HERE!" is still there, and it looks like you are talking to the person above you once the spammers message is deleted. The staff have enough on their plate, without having to go around fixing all the aftermath and it can be avoided if we learn how to deal with it properly...

Remember, they WANT you to react to it!
So if you miss it, be glad you did and move on, do not resurrect it by asking people what happened or continuing to talk about it.

That's actually really good advice. But I don't blame any of the people who made that mistake this time around. I'll get to work removing those posts.

And if you find any of the reaction posts, feel free to report them too. It's not against the rules or anything, we just don't want the spam or the reaction to the spam on the forum as both disrupt normal discussion.

Thankfully I got at least one PM, otherwise I wouldn't have signed on. I'm in Denver, after all

Yes, as Fip said, never feed the trolls. They need to learn to survive on their own in the wild without your help. ;3
