They shouldn't be there in the first place! I don't know of any other site I visit that allows spam to even be posted!

Yesterday morning I gave up even trying to read the site as the first few pages on "new posts" search contained nothing but spam and competition threads.

Exactly!

Without giving info away that's exactly what we have in place already that we're working on beefing up - see my previous posts.

Thanks

With all due respect Andrea, I'm not seeing much change here!
Whatever it is that you claim to be "in place" doesn't work, if it did they wouldn't be able to post full stop

The spammers are still posting, were still reporting and your still removing.

It's been like this for months now and whilst there may be a reduction (which may well be due to the spammers lack of enthusiasm, who knows?) it's still getting hit on a daily basis

Martin Lewis said spam would be stopped by the start of July. It is September next week and MSE has still not put in place effective controls. What is the problem?
