I tried to report more 'sports spam' but this spammer has disabled the "Report" link. The spam got reported anyway as "I have my ways" (as you'll see at the bottom picture) but this removing the report link is not a good thing.

Here's a link to the post(s) http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ream-engli

and a screen shot if it is gone...

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

As for the sports spammers, we took care of the gigantic glut of spammers from China a week or two ago - now it's dealing with the Bangladeshi spammers that have targeted us with sports spam.

I thank the mod team for their effort to clear another wave of spam attack at 2-10-2011 1:56am +9:30.

Edit: it is 3:42am +9.30 and another spam attack occure. I was just about to log off and go to sleep, but I still manage to report the spammer first. Good night!

can we help! or a certain smaller group of us, I do recognise that the mods are busy and have lives, but toms needs to stop them occuring the first place through design or technology, thats beyond a mod function.

Why are they even doing the spam? It is not as if anyone will open their link and buy whatever they are advertising.
