i can forward the private message from my inbox to moderator/admin if needed. a report user/message function wouldnt hurt in this forum.

We very rarely have a problem like this but please forward any such SPAM to me or the other Admin, Harry Kuhman, and we'll deal with it straightaway. We do weed out the spammers' posts all the time - and Boy! do they try - but we don't know about the PMs till you tell us.

Members can also email me at webmaster @ this domain and I always answer fairly quickly. Thanks for your help on this.

a function like "report this user", or something would be much better. in-system (in-forum) function. i dont always have the possibility to generate mails from wherever i access forums and so on. i didnt even find proper admin usernames/links inside the forum that were clickable or usable to communicate with.

I did make a post about this earlier. The "report this user" function just doesn't exist in the current forum software. I suppose I could commission someone to work on a mod but in the meanwhile feel free to drop me a PM.

Maybe we should have a section here for "Feedback and Suggestions" which would serve as a place to go with any issues relating to the running of the forum. That would make it easier for people to find a Mod or Admin. Anyone else think this would help in the interim?
