If you click the "report" button: you can alert the moderators/admins about things like this. I'd imagine they'll get notification from the board more directly than having to stumble onto a thread like this.

Thanks for the info. Had I known of the procedure I would have followed it.

It's the same as the jerks who spam comment sites all the time with their "buy my stuff" spam.

Where do these people get off?
