When we started to get multiple spam from the same pond-life, I asked for and was given a 'tool' which I can use to get rid of all the spam from that source at once. It takes about half a minute. The spammer is then automatically banned.
It takes far longer to have to read all the reports of the spam being offensive, and to have to reply to threads like this.
I was out all day so couldn't look at the forum until late in the evening. I agree that it's mildly irritating to have this rubbish clutter up the forum, but it isn't doing anyone any physical harm, and it isn't the end of the world if you have to wait till evening to have it removed. Quite often someone at HJ head office spots it and removes it for us.
Thanks for the offers of help, but I can manage fine as long as we don't get people saying 'I reported it this morning and it's still there this evening'. No spam is as irritating as that.
So just chill out and relax, and have a great Christmas. With two carol services done and three more to play for, I'm going to enjoy it.
