Any administrators or moderators out there?

We have two spammers attacking the site: danny123 and jasmine.

I saw that, but had no idea how to handle that.

Is there a moderator that I could send a pm to, and he would get an e-mail notification, or something?

In that case, I don't know nothin' about no spam. It ain't even been invented yet. Fer that matter, canisters are for grape shot or musket balls, not food.

Pass the lobscouse, matey.

On the other hand, if we made the spammers walk the plank, we'd lose some of the most active posters.

Can we politely ask one of the admins who pops in once in a while to ban the spammer's IP?
