All we users can do is report SPAM when we see it. Click on the red triangle with the exclamation point at the bottom ot the author's info in the left column of a post. Type in "SPAM" and send. Leave a short comment (just "reported" is enough, vent if you want to) so others will know the post has already been reported.

A SPAM acct only needs to be reported once - no need to report every SPAM post by that member.

Happy hunting. :driving:

Holy Toledo. What is Happening? Why write this stuff anyway?

Is there a way to "mute" threads from your view once logged in? I suspect admins/mods are probably too busy to delete spam as quickly as they appear.

My itchy trigger finger makes me want to click on un-read posts...

maybe you guys too can help out other members. just keep bumping real threads up.

kenchan 09-23-2013 01:22 PM

oh, and dont REPLY 'reported' to the spam cause then it bumps the crap threads up.

just report it and leave it alone. and bump the real threads/ads.

From the quality of translation, looks like its made in China Spam.

If you don't let others know the post has been reported, the same post will get reported over and over again. That's more crap the mods have to wade through.

hmmmmm Good point. My main concern is that Staff has requested that posts be reported only once and the comment lets others know that you've already reported it. I'm willing to do it with or without the "reported" comment.
