How to report spam?

How do I report spam in the forums? Someone has added several posts
about Ugg boots lately:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-914-used-parts-sale-wanted/573825-ugg-boots-uk-where-we-design-showcasing-your-des.html

I was surprised not to see a "report this post" or "report spam" link in the forums. (Maybe I just missed it?)

See the little triangle to the right of the date/time stamp? Click on it and report away!

Don't respond to it or it makes it more difficult to delete entirely.

Not for the mod to delete. ...it's easy; just a check-box, like so (yellow hi-lited)



Or, if it's one post w/in a (good) thread, it too can be removed easily.

Altho, come to think of it, that is just a soft delete. I believe Wayne goes thru later to get rid of it permanently.

All posts and threads started by that spammer are now gone.

If you post in a spammer's thread, you won't be the 'baby thrown out with the bathwater." since most of us moderators will just delete the complete thread and ban the originator of the thread.

I think Wayne was a bit fatigue that day... Was not funny at the time but now it is

Why don't people read FAQ's before posting?

Are you referring to why I asked here about how to eliminate the spam? I did check the FAQ. I didn't see any mention of spam.
