Reminder : Do not comment on SPAM posts

Post by sp3ctre » Thu Jul 07, 2011 7:27 am

Hi guys,

Just a reminder that the correct way to report spam posts is to click the "report post" button. Please do not comment on them, here's why....

When we find a single spam post we remove the thread and ban the spammer. However, occasionally we don't see the spammer quite so quickly and by that time they have posted a few threads. In that case the easiest form of action is to delete the user along with all their posts. Problem is, if they have posted a spam thread and you have commented on it, the thread is left, and it looks like the person who commented on it actually posted the thread.... see the issue?

So, it would help us a lot if you don't post on spam threads and simply use the "report post" feature. (most do this already, this is just a reminder)

Thanks :thumbsup:
