A link to the offending post, and a click to the "! Report" button often helps in these situations, mike

i've already apologized to Mike

....btw...I still don't understand how it's spam... a link from one forum to another forum within the same web site is spam? regardless....I won't do it again

Rule of thumb is that if a thread appears repeated and largely unaltered in more than 3 different forums it's a candidate for being considered SPAM. It's not a rule that it's 3 forums specifically but the further you get from 3 the more it smells like SPAM the more offensive it becomes.

Glad it's worked out.
