Buy Real Passports SPAM

Options
Once again we have multiple posts inviting us to apply for Real and Fake Passports and ID's.

Is there nothing that MSE can do to prevent these posts ?

    This question gets asked just about every time one of these spammers floods the boards and the answer from the Towers is always the same, hit the button folks.

    I see that once again we have multiple posts offering a dubious passport and visa service and once MSE has deleted them.

    Does MSE report this possible fraud to Action Fraud?

    I can't see what they could do a Mse towers unless anyone that wanted to join Mse had to apply and wait a week until their application was approved.
    But then are these spammers such a big deal, ok they're a pain but within minutes of them posting the threads are marked as spam and deleted.

    Like I suggested earlier, you'd be helping us to help you by adding a small 'Spam' button to threads in the board view (or in a call-out showing the first post content).

    Pretty often there are several identical threads on a board and, personally, I CBA to go into each one to click the ******* button and then back.

    I also suggested a spam button at the top of the thread as some of these spammers are a bit long-winded and I hate having to scroll down to get to the button.

    Another suggestion would be an icon alongside the thread on the board to let you know that you had already clicked the button as some folk bump every thread back to the top of the board and they show up as new posts again and I don't know if I have already clicked on it.
