just keep reporting these rubbish threads as spam and hopefully, between us, we can keep the boards clear

    yep and the fact that MSE said they done something about it last week well if they did didn't work. I am fed up of following them around clicking spam its made even worse when you see the thread has 20+ views and the thread still remains obviously many people dont click spam

    Of course I don’t click spam, maybe if nobody did then something would be done about it.

    I wish there was a way of doing it without going in to each individual thread. Maybe some way of marking a posters profile as a spammer.

    Sorry I haven't been around as much recently, will try and make sure the Credit Cards, Credit Files and Loans forums are all kept relatively clear of any spam. :)

    Thanks to all the BG's (and other MSEers too for clicking the spam) for all the hard work they are putting in helping to keep these boards free of spam.

    Can I ask that if you do remove spam, please ensure the FT are made aware of the offending user id. I noticed yesterday at least one user account who had all their posts/threads removed at about 2pm was back creating more multiple spam threads about 3 hours later.

    If the offending user account is not PPR'd, we will all be fighting a never ending battle.
