What to do when you see a spam message

Greetings,

This thread explains what to do when you see a spam message on the forums:

• DON'T REPLY TO THE MESSAGE. Spammers can track replies and when they get one, they return for more spamming.
  
• Report the message by PMing a moderator or administrator. When they recieve the PM, they can ban the spammer.
  
• Don't point it out to the entire forum. This just makes it worse.<li>If it is a chain letter (eg. Post this ten times within the next two minutes or you will turn into a pigeon), do NOT spread around the chain letter. This just makes it worse.
  

This doesn't apply to the SPAM! thread in the Activity forum, that thread has had granted permission.

Thanks,
