Is there a way to report users that spam via PMs. For example just now I was spammed by a newbie called lanasa trying to sell fake Rolex watches. There needs to be something in place to report (ab)users like this.

you can PM a mod/admin about it and it will be dealt with.

The "Contact Us" (http://forums.macrumors.com/sendmessage.php) link at the bottom of any forum page is usually your best option.

Q isn't on right now, so if all you had done was PM him, the spammer would still be going. Fortunately, I saw this thread, so he's now been banned. But rather than posting publicly about it, a Contact Us submission is more likely to get the attention of any mod or admin online at the time.
