I see a couple new spam threads here this AM.... with a response that says "reported." Yah, report it, but I don't think the mods want you to RESPOND to the thread. They'll take care of it.
When you reply to a spammers post, you do him a favor by putting it back to the top. When the spammers post are deleted, sometimes the replies to it stay. So that makes a mess on that particular thread, even worse if the reply was done with a Quote. Then the spam basically stays. And, eventhough the chance of it happening is really small, there is a possibility that by replying, a well meaning User will get a Spammer Ban along with the one the Spammer gets. So please don't. There is absolutely no good reason to reply to a Spammers post. But please do Report them. And the Mods will take care of it.
Am i right in thinking that anything not H.A.M.B.related is SPAM.I see lots of adverts for TV shows and such which have absolutly no reason to be here? Any chance of an example,thanks Gaz!
Yes. You are right about the wave of TV related ads. All Spam... No need for an example, you described it very well.
