Someone is out to make trouble

 I hit spam against jacks corks post. I genuinely think most of his are spam. Anyway I got a telling off so admin know who did it.

Hmmm, from reading that @_shel it sounds like the site 'bods' need to work on this issue/subject.

How do you work out which of your own posts are marked as spam? I appear to have ten. If I click on ‘thanks’ I can see which posts have been thanked - but when I click on my profile ‘spam’ I don’t see anything. I’d be interested to know which of my posts were marked as such. 

You need to click on the spam number and when the page reloads you then need to scroll down past all the stupid badges to see the posts listed.

I wonder what it would take to get MSE to take some kind of action.
Perhaps an organised mail in from everyone affected, all sending an email at the same time with the same complaint.

I did, and there's nothing there. My spam count is 10 - so if the rule is 5 reports and it's out, that could be two posts. I don't recall posting two posts that would warrant such removal though.

Strange that, I can't see them either, mind you they are pretty vicious at times on the comps board so if you posted something in the wrong place on there, I would not put it past them.

I suspect that if the post gets enough spam clicks for it to automatically disappear, the spam count in the profile will show but the "spam" posts will not.

I've got 16 and none show. The entire threads have been deleted which explains it. The irony is they are all from 1 poster who has had multiple ids blocked for spamming about Viagogo. I too often mark a certain Jack Corks posts as spam because they usually are. I am yet to be told off for it.

It would be nice to get a system generated message telling us that our post had been marked as spam and removed. We do after all get a message when a regular post gets removed when someone is offended by it.

A lot of things would be nice, a decent functioning forum would be a start, but that seems less likely by the day.

The 'car crash' of a new forum (sorry, borrowed that phrase from another poster) has been unsurprisingly, somewhat overwhelmed by the nation's other issues.
