Reporting Spam
19 Answers
Would it be useful to have a category "open" continuously for reporting spam?
This would assist quicker deletion by mods especially when Eds are not available in the early hours and at weekends. It would need to be prominent to ensure ease of access.

Maybe if a link to the offending thread was posted here Mods could be encouraged to check this section when they come online and delete as required, including the op in spam and scams.

Yes if just for those what xan go under radar posting loads on like 10 yearold threads.
Just a yellow ( 'sticky/ sticker) thread in eds blog where we can put a link to the spammer like what I done a few times for Naomi. As soon as its zapped the mod could just say 'zapped'or 'done as naomi does.
There not needed for the new gummy threads as they stand out anyway and go as soon as mods see them. The system should stop many of these by banning links in title box.
I can see Douglas's point but if your not bothered don't look at the report threads which is for those who want to get rid of spam.

Hi Ladybirder How would the mod I reported know who has reported? Just a little coloured R or similar after the post could show it was reported. Everybody could see it. Then the mods could make a decision. Mind you some people might enjoy going around reporting like crazy. Perhaps mot a good idea!!!
Compared with war and climate change its not important.
But when I read 'recently answered as I like to I sometimes seen 60 threads with posts from spammers. Ed and mods care enough to report them and Ed thanked me. Commenting on this prudie is abit like someone posting on a Coronation St thread that they don't watch it or say ' its not real you know'. Look away now if your not interested.

A sticky in Editor's Blog is a good idea. No chatting - just a link to the culprit which mods would remove once the blighter is zapped. That way other mods wouldn't be sent on a wild goose chase.
I don’t agree that mods should see all reports. Communication between the Eds and members including mods, should remain confidential.

Bobb I think you may be being a bit oversensitive. I am well aware you have been doing a good job and Ed has thanked you and that most users would like to see it tackled. You are also right that I don't see a lot of it just because I tend to just look at latest posts and the times I lok in. I still think I should be allowed to comment on the thread, I see a lot more spam on here than I do Coronation Street.
