You said it. How about an (S) for Spam next to the triangle.:)

Why add a duplicating button then instead of modifying the existing one?

If you spot a spam, illegal, offensive, racist, libellous post or PM please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

I'm thinking more along the lines of an internal messaging system/alert - to avoid sending the email. Like the 'THANKS' & 'LIKE IT' buttons. Spam is not quite 'abuse', whereas "illegal, offensive, racist, libellous posts or PM's", are.:)

It was not me who added it to the list. I just quoted what we see on the top of the page.
When I said 'modifying' I meant just the way the existing button worked.

That's cool, I never said you added or subtracted anything. I got your point too; those were my sentiments anyway, to an extent. Hopefully jobbingmusician will put something forward.:)

Hi all,

I've moved the posts from another discussion on suggestions for the forum to a new thread and am now moving it to site feedback

Thanks all for your suggestions. I am still learning correct use of superpowers, so will discuss this with other BGs and let you know what I learn. In the mean time, I suspect grumbler is right - don't be afraid to use the abuse button for spam.

Cheers MK, grumbler & I did veer slightly off topic.:)

I hope you'll be able to consider this idea, it would be a real time saver, and encourage MSE to report more 'Spam' & 'Abuse' as a result, cheers JM.:)
