moderators ban accounts, and sit around all day helping answer questions and delete post's, they do a good enough job that it seems like there is always a moderator here when you need them

If the spam is in the mailing-list areas, there is nothing we can do about it.

If it's in the other areas of the forum, under each person's name is a red icon with an "X" in the middle - click on it and let the staff know it's spam. We'll get rid of it and the person that posted it. :)
