I logged in early this morning and found some spam threads and was not able to delete them. ????

Someone beat you to it.

OK, I get it now. If it has already been done, the option to delete it is not longer on the screen! I'm not blonde for nothin'

No. The "Delete Spam" button just disappears for some folks (like me). Have no idea why. Had it until recently. Tried the standard tricks of deleting cookies and temp files but ti no avail. Seems like I've seen a thread about this some time ago.
Doesn't seem worth the effort to pursue. I treat it like the junk snail mail I get daily. Ignore it.

Check on top of the page to make sure you are logged in. Non-registered guests cannot use the Delete Spam.

Last week I found that the automatic login stopped working for me on this site. Although I don't have the same problem with other sites, I guess it may be a protection feature from my machine. In any case, check to see if you're logged in if the features aren't there for you.

That was the first thing I checked and I was logged in as I am now and don't see the Delete Spam buttom. This is true for my notebook and desktop systems.

I think we all need a DELETE SPAM button cuz we are losing the war on spam here ... I have whacked well over 100 party pokers in the past 24 hours and I'm tired and ready to quit.

Death to Party Pokers!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Did you delete any non-spam? if so (even accidentally) you may have gotten your privileges revoked. PM the forum admin.

Certainly not intentionally. I acutally don't delete that many.
It would be nice if the Admin would step up and say so if he feels you have abused the delete spam "priviledge"

May just be an error... PM Johnny... He's an easy guy to work with and will work with you to get the answer. (He's a busy guy, so be patient.)

Man!! If I did delete a non-spam-worthy post, I sure would like to know what it is!! I have only deleted about 3 posts and only because they were very sexually explicit and found them offensive. I'm curious, now. I guess I'll just have to leave the deleting to the "experts".

I guess we just are delete worthy. Bummer!

That was me above. Now I'm not log in worthy either. Bummer^2!
