    it would be easier if you had a spam button below a post would it not or a troll button it would make clicking more easier :D x
    well i thought if you and everyone else presses their spam button then after so many times the thread will temporaily disappear but if you press your abuse button then only the post is actioned i put other and then spammer not sure if its right :D

    Do not use the spam button as that can lead to them removing the whole thread!!

    Always use the abuse button, unless a spammer has actually started a new thread

    To report a post or user click the abuse button and report them

    If they have started a new thread click the spam button and then the abuse button and report them

    If you click on the Spam button on an existing thread, that thread can be locked or "soft deleted"
    as did happen on the sub prime credit card thread

    That's what I do Allie :T but think 'other - spammer' is OK too
