I cannot find the SPAM button anymore, its frustrating as tonight the threads have been bombarded https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2480273 and with a new one every minute by this spammer, I cannot keep up with posting to abuse to report them all.

So how do we go about reporting spam from here?, I have no intention of posting to abuse regarding SPAM, so without a spam button, your not likely to find out about them by members

    For spammers posting multiple threads/posts send abuse a link to the user profile rather than reporting each and every thread/post.

    The spam button should be at the top left of the page when viewing a thread. If it's not PM me a link to the thread in question.

    Most likely a 'bot'.

    Just send a report to 'abuse' with link to the user-profile when a spammer has multiple posts. Saves the team huge amounts of time.

    I expect you probably do that anyway.... :)
