Spam post and inappropriate use

There is a post on 'Introduce Yourself' that needs to be deleted and the user banned. Please take care of it. Thanks.

Just to note that I attempted to report that post when I first saw it … but although the reporting icon opened a form … I don’t think it submitted my report.

I then [wrongly] assumed that the matter was already in-hand.

I know this is not a new problem - see for instance viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15739 - but leaving this kind of offensive junk up for days has a serious impact on my interest in being associated with the forum. Some trusted members should be deputized to remove span on sight, and suspend the posting user.

Seems this site makes efforts to keep spammers away. The best option I found was to ban full/huge ranges of IPs...

They still find their way through, whatever admins do. Musk made some efforts for X. They still find their ways in there.

You shall not feel "associated" to such content. On X, Insta, FB or Tiktok, people aren't. Or all would have left.

That is what I was just hurted by on YT, sort of adult content, an ad, whilst I was watching table saws videos (adult content): https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GI1WOvTWQAE ... name=large

Spammers find their way through, everywhere, on X, on Google services also. Somehow, we have to deal with this, without being "associated to".

I notified this unexpected content to @YTCreateurs, knowing them, they'll react in the next hours :lol:
