I'm quite sure you guys are busy and do the best you can to police this site and keep it in order for us. But we are desperately in need of admin / moderator presence in the Classic - Useast forum. I also trade in West classic and the situation is much the same there. Paid topic or not spammers/trolls dominate all topics. I cannot begin to tell you how much fg I've wasted on topic titles only to have page after page filled by spammers / trolls. It gets so frustrating sometimes. Feels like there is little to no moderation in these forums at all to be honest. I am not trying to flame anyone here, especially not mods. I imagine you guys already have your hands full, but please try and do something about this relentless assault of spam.

Example

Just have to report and move on, like you said they are very busy but must remain patient.

If a user makes multiple spam topics you can collect them and send them to a Trade Mod and politely ask for them to take a look.

Edit: Did not realize this was in Site Suggestions.

Looking at the topic you linked, it appears that you responded to the other users' spam in Post #7. While it may be hard to ignore the flaming/senseless posts, if you respond, your topic will most likely be quickly locked, whether or not you paid for it, or if the other users started the spam. Because you responded to it, you become just as guilty, when compared with the other users who spammed. If only other people spam your topic, and you ignore it, your topic will usually not be locked. If you pretend that their posts don't exist, and don't respond, the trolls will have nothing to do. "Don't feed the trolls" is very applicable here.

When users spam, and continue to spam, send a PM to a TM or TA, but telling them to stop spamming just worsens the situation. Sorry for any FG that you lost due to it, hopefully now you will understand the logic behind it.
