I've noticed a lot of spamming going on here today when i logged in-do people seriously think they can come on here do that and get away with it?! It's really annoying, and totally unfair as some people lick on the links and are fooled.

Only post a link if its genuine and links to a real freebie please!!

    Well erm.....YES. The fact that people DO log on here and get away with it, should be proof enough that they CAN. A trained eye can spot a spammer almost immediatley, and can soon scratch the itch.

    If you see a post click on report.gifand report it. I believe its best to say in the post once only, post reported that way abuse don't get multiple reports of same post.

    Yes it is annoying, particularly as the post is no freebie but a trick to get extra traffic to a US based web site.

    I usually also say in post xxxx is a spamming with multiple posts

    sometimes you see people just reply saying "spam"....so you have no idea if they have already reported or not.
  • It won't matter if it has been reported previously. I think the forum team would prefer multiple reports of one spammer than not at all ;)
