What's with all the porn threads?

I'm a member of several messageboards and actually run one myself and I've never seen so many people posting porn links before! What's with that?

It is a mystery, but I'm seeing it on other boards I'm on too.

Everyone can help: Whenever you see an inappropriate post, please click on the white triangle with the red border at the top right corner of the post you want to report. That sends an automatic e-mail to all the moderators, with a link directly to the reported post so we can find it quickly. That's much more efficient than sending a PM or an e-mail to one of the moderators separately.

Yep. DH and I run about 5, two popular three very small, and the popular ones have been innundated. One as much as here, one more.

Okay, glad I have been doing it right. Sometimes I log on, report 2-3 spams, read a bit, and log off, as if it's my duty to be the Spam Police! LOL Each time I report it, I wonder if I'm just bugging the crap outta some poor overworked Mod. :) But if that's the best way, I'll keep Policing. :heh:

Have you noticed they have become a bit cunning and writing in the header something unrelated to their actual post then when you click on it you get bombarded with their porn links. Grrrrr I hate being duped to click on the thread.
