Some of you have been using the "Report" buttons, and moderators will have "Warn Level" bars.

This is good, and id like to promote its use, but I thought id just explain what this actually does.

When you report someone (or increase their warn levels), I get an instant email notification informing me about it, their account is also automatically added into a "Possible Spammers" group which I have weekly reports sent to me detailing.

I also check this queue every now and then, 9 times out of 10 ill just delete their account.

Warn levels are similar , although its kind of like a strike system , get 5 warnings and your automatically banned.

Also , moderators, if you browse to a users profile, there you will find a button labeled "Mark as Spammer" , if you hit this , their account will automatically be locked without any intervention from me. Ill then review if they should be deleted.

Ah, got it. And I finally seem to have worked out this 'quote' thing too! Happy days!
