I don't know how many changes you've made to phpBB, if any, but that would be a really handy tool when we're under a spam attack.Threads and posts that have been flagged show up with a red "!" icon next to it.

i dont understand, i see a supposed post in the emd section, by the latest spammer, but there's no post, in the emd forum. i have refreshed several times, and the main page shows a post by him, as the last post in the topic, and it shows as unread, by me. it's not there, however.Sometimes it takes a day or two for the database to catch up to our activity.
once again, we need to be able to flag spammers, as such, thus invising all of their posts. we also need a way to flag a profile, as a spammer, or for whatever reason (a report button) so by reporting it, the only person on the forum, thats handling these problems, can see the problem member.All you can do is flag a post, and then Mike or I are able to delete all of that account's posts in one fell swoop. I check the reports in the morning and evening, and sometimes during the day. I don't know any other way at this time, maybe Mike Roque can shed some light on it.
