Rampant SPAM

I don't think that any of the administration team or moderators have been made aware of this but it looks like you have one, possibly two spammers posting within a "group" here at Polk Audio. They are currently up to 276 pages of spam related threads, including ****. Take a look;
http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/group.php?groupid=34
The two members are ultimase and Greg82794. It looks to me like Greg82794 simply got lost and may have inadvertently joined the group, though I may be incorrect with that assumption. I can't access what you can. All I see on my end from Greg82794 is one visitor message with zero responses as seen below;
With this many posts/threads within a group, I don't believe that any moderator can do anything about this and that an administrator will have to delete this group and all of it's threads. When I click onto either of their monikers, I see that they both have no posts but that the 276 pages of spamming threads remain. At the very least, the general public should have access to this blocked. BTW, the spamming is continuing as I type this. The latest thread just hit at 09:19 AM today. Just thought you might want to be made aware of a situation that has been overlooked for quite some time.
Until this is resolved, if you are a member of this forum reading this, please do not be foolish enough to go clicking on any one of the spamming links.

I was wondering how well does the Polk Audio center channel speaker Tsx 150C do compared to the CSI A 4? I currently own two floor stands which are the tsx series and two book shelf tsx speakers. If you have any advice on what kind of center channel I should buy, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

You are welcome, Mr. Swauger. There is still the now 278 pages of threads started by one or both of them that the public can unfortunately access. Is there any way to block or temporarily move this to an inaccessible location as seen by the general public? They show up on many searches now since their are so many threads.

You should be able to delete the entire group.Political Correctness'.........defined
