We have been seeing a new technique spammers have been using. They copy an old post from the forums to look legit, then edit it with spam links. If you see something like this come up, please PM the mods to delete it. Thanks!
I guess you could call that...
A Good Time-Spam.
I'll see myself out.
Is there a way we can report these spam-threads or the users that are making them? It's getting more obnoxious now with posts just filled with links.
As Pydro said in the OP you can PM the mods about it.
Not letting me message you at moment power, but there is at least one on the spirit island forum and another on the video game forum at the moment
A list of the newest spam-threads have been sent to Pydro
Might want to include multiple Mods in the future, in case Pydro's not available. :-)
Could we maybe have the mods marked in the list of active users, so we know who to message?
That would be really helpful. I have no idea who the mods are, or at least I couldn't name any off the top of my head. c.c
I’m sure I’m missing a few but Pydro, Rabit, Arenson9, and grysqrl are all mods
The problem is remembering that list when you see a spam. Like, I know there are a lot of regulars, and many of them are mods, but I don't always remember exactly which. Eg, I'm always tempted to think that you are a mod, Powerhound 2000.
Which I find odd but you’re not the only one I’ve found out.
Good idea. No idea if the admins can/will make it happen. In the meantime, note that if you click through each individual name in the list of active users, moderators will be labeled as such.
Only one you’re missing is lynkfox. Still, we should have a place where folks can know who the mods are. We’ll bring it up to the Admins. 
Isn't there a "report post" button somewhere for if you think a post should be looked at by the Mods/Admin? At least one other forum I visit has such a thing. Then there's no hunting through a list of names, you just click the "Report" button at the top/bottom of the post in question and it brings up a message box or drop-down menu or whatever for you to fill in as to why you're flagging the post, and then sends that to all the Mods/Admin who are in a list to receive such.
There’s no report button that I’ve ever seen and the mods wouldn’t be able to set that up it would be the forum admin.
I believe that's on the wishlist for the new site...
I just cut and pasted the address for each spam thread I found into a PM. Not as quick as a 'Report' button, but I guess it got the job done.
And thank you for sending it to multiple of us. I never got the PM notification, myself, due to the old PM notification bug, so I’m glad someone saw it and dealt with it. :-)
and truthfully I’m not much of a Mod. Have the status cause of the wiki, and I do delete spam when I see it, but I’m not around here very often to do actual modding work 
Thunder and Mud, the spammers were busy while I was gone!
Edit: Good work to the mod(s) who cleaned up that mess! :)
It’s worth noting that this forum (along with the internet as a whole) has been seeing a tremendous uptick in much more convincing AI spam with malicious links embedded. Be very cautious about following any link, especially in posts by recently-joined members. For anyone unaware, the forum has gained a report function since the posts above, which is accessed by clicking the … “show more” icon at the bottom of each post, then clicking on the “privately flag post” icon and selecting the appropriate response (usually “spam”) under the “notify staff” options. The more readers do that when they spot something suspicious the faster the bots will be quashed.
Thankfully the scammers don’t seem to have grasped the concept of making sleeper accounts that sit for months or years and then seem to be organics de-lurking, but it’s just a matter of time before that becomes an issue.
And my Mod permissions have finally been removed, so it’s now all down to Pydro (and GTG folks) to cover it. 
Thank you for dealing with all of this for us, @Pydro!
