dealing with spam posts

[/pine]

The best way to deal with spam posts is to simply report them...actually replying to the post only helps to promote them...!

That's only common sense. Never feed the trolls!

Then again "common sense" is gradually fading along with the "baby boomers" generation.

I remember common sense. That was pre-Internet and cell phones. Been on the endangered species list ever since.

OK, what is the procedure for reporting spam posts on this site?

On android app you highlight the post, then click on 3 dots to bring up report. Lots of spam the last few days.

Just click the little gray triangle at the bottom left of the post.

... then write "SPAM" (or whatever you think the post is ie: offensive) as an indicator to TBN administrator of what it's about. Then click the 'submit'.

I will typically post "Reported" in the spam thread to save other members from having to go through the whole process.

Quite a few of the latest batch of spams seem to occur during my evening, which is N.A.'s early morning... it's a pain in the arse reporting them all, but I consider it as my part of the community that is TBN.

I reported 3 this morning. But how many reports does it take to get an admin to kill the thread? 1? 5?
