We seem to be under attack from spammers... I think they are using AI to bypass our safeguards.
Please bear with us as the staff finds and deletes the posts.
There were over 30 today that I know of from 4 different users.

God bless the staff! I'm having my own personal war with AI at work (I seem to be losing). Thanks for all of your efforts, Mikey!

I just banned a spammer and deleted 15 posts. Can we have a real easy way to do this. It takes me a while to find out how to do it every time.

We don't banning IP's just in case they are used by legitimate people.
Banning the name and e-mail is enough.

I click on the
username. Then On the left column, it will show
Total Posts.
Click on
"Find all posts"
Then when the list appears all the way on the right will be a
check box at the top of the column
Click that and all messages should turn white
Scroll to bottom and in the drop down select
Delete Posts Permanently and click
"Go"
That's the best way that I have found.....
Then
Ban the user
