Hopefully, Giza, this is the right place to post this...

The fastest and most efficient means to report (and exterminate) a spammer is to report the URL to webmaster (at) anthrocon.org. Giza (or one of his fellow-webmasters) will be more than happy to remove such posts ASAP. I've reported two others in the past week: Giza's minions ( Evil ) have been so quick to delete the spam that he couldn't find it when he looked for it.

(Tongue in cheek) This is your website: help keep it clean.

Thanks for the PSA.

I should probably look into installing one of the "report this as spam" modules as some point...

Please, please do. It's inconvenient to have to report spam "out of band" through e-mail, and there have been times when I came across a spam post yet didn't report it due to the hassle (like when I'm browsing the forums while at work Smiling).
