There are many spammers who keep on posting ads in the Help Section.
Can you ban them somehow?

It's a problem we have been working with for some time.

Got any ideas?

I don't want to turn off guest posting or make people have too hard of a time to come here and ask for help on levels.

How about getting a bunch of people in different time zones all around the world to moderate the forum and delete SPAM as they find it?

Zot, that's a terrible idea, and you should be banned for it.

Can you get guests to type in one of those code things (like the pictures with the blurry numbers)? Would that help at all?

They do have that ("Quest" told me about it). All this means that the spammers aren't bots and are just balloon knot.

There's a button to report specific posts. You can use that to alert mods to spam.

It's the exclamation point at the bottom right of each post.

No, I got rid of all the many buttons that do nothing when I first started the forum because I realized it would be pointless to keep the 50-100 usless buttons we did had.

You can find plenty of useless buttons in the game though.
