    Someone is at it again today, another 3 of my posts have been clicked as spam on this board.


    and then I get spam blocked trying to post on this thread

    is MSE trying to get rid of people by the back door?
    When are they going to answer this problem and the spam clicking as well?

    Does it not need 5 different people to report spam before anything is done?
    That would mean 515 people would have reported my 'spam', my spam reports shot up after I put two 'newbie' posters on ignore, they clearly joined Discussion to cause trouble, hence I put them on ignore.

    Is it a glitch?

    That explains why my posts were disappearing without being reported. 
    There’re really aren’t too many posters on here at 5.00am

    I have a single spam report, but it doesn't show the actual post so I can only assume that the thread has been deleted. I have seen a few toys ejected from prams recently so perhaps it's a lockdown fever thing.

    I've got a spam report as well.
    Seems to me that some people don't know what spam is, and make a report if they don't like what someone else says, rather than arguing their point.
    Could be someone I don't agree with politically, or more likely I'd have thought one of the AEs and trolls who seem to be free to wander about and cause trouble.
    Doesn't really bother me either way.

    It bothers me in as much as I hate to think that someone looks at my profile, sees the number of Spam reports then decides that I am a spammer and does not trust what I have posted.
