Hi Jen, thanks for the tip. I initially wanted to mail you, but I figured asking my questions in public is beneficial for all of us and not just me.

The last time this issue was brought to light (at least when I was around) staff directed people to report posts. I have been reporting posts, the posts still sit there. Would it be better if I reported them AND mailed a sweeper? One or the other or both? It would be nice to know the most efficient way to handle situations like this so we aren't swimming through a bunch of spam threads/posts in our business districts (possibly forums in general). 

PriceisrightChaching the best thing to do is probably mail a sweeper. I generally check my mail on here at least once a day. Worse comes to worse, I'm generally on IRC so you can get a hold of me that way as well. 

Jen does that mean using block quotes stops you from getting experience when posting in forums?

"Also if you NEED to copy and paste things that aren't yours, put them in block quotes. That way the information is there, but you don't get experience for it. 

Ya know, like this.
