    So, if anything gets reported in the next week, it may be a bit before it gets dealt with. I haven’t seen Brad or Stefan logged in a LONG time, and I am going on an overdue vacation.

    Report them as you see them. Just know that I may be the only one dealing with them in a timely manner.

    I reported a spam bot a few weeks back that exhibited a new behavior we haven't been seeing. It was replying to existing posts.

    Thanks for reporting it, too. :) There is one that is very persistent, but luckily not overwhelming (yet). It will take full admin privileges to delete, and I have sent numerous message to Wagonmaster about it. Hopefully he will remove it.

    Oh, I'm here. Work has been a killer as we are down 2 out of 5 in a small office. Don't people want/need to work anymore?

    This is an issue of this version of XenForo forum software where-in if the spammer waits "X" number of days, only the forum admin can do anything with them. I am a SuperMod on V8Buick and it's the same thing there.

    I'm really amazed at how long some of these bots have remained dormant before they start posting.
