Spam button

Don't think it's a good idea to have the Spam button directly below the Forum button - I hit it tonight by mistake.

Or is it just me :rolleyes:

    If you get into the habit of clicking on the Forums option at the top of the page (just below the picture of Martin;)) instead, it won't be a problem.

    It works for me.

    I think it being next to the reply button isn't great! They are too close together.

    I have hit the spam button by accident about 6 times today - it's where the reply button was. The thread I'm regularly on isn't spam so I then have to click NOT SPAM.

    Instead of a this thread is spam, the site need a "this user is a spammer" button, "or this post is spam", "or this thread is a fake topic" spammers are tagging on to existing legitimate (or starting fake topic threads) threads, spamming to their hearts content, and wasting everyone's time.

    Totally agree. Haven't hit the wrong button (yet) but its only a matter of time.

    Agree. I mentioned this on the original Martin thread asking for feedback re the changes.
    I want the VIEW FIRST UNREAD button back too! I need it!
