crelf Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Our policy on spam is clear: "Spamming is not permitted; please keep all your posts as constructive and on-topic as possible", but we also want to be clear on how our members should handle what they suspect as spam in our forums. From our Golden Forum Rules page: "If a topic is recognized as being posted in the wrong forum, or if the post is a violation of our guidelines then please contact a moderator [using] the report post to moderator feature; please do not respond publicly to the member - a member of staff will do what is required upon contact. Any person/s who attempt to present themselves as a Moderator by posting negatively to a member's topic... will be sent a PM warning and placed into moderation queue upon further actions." In summary, do not reply to a topic that you think is spam - simply click the "! REPORT" link next to the suspect spam (see below) and fill out a description to report it to a moderator. If you do reply to the suspected spam post and don't click on the report button, then the moderators might miss it. Also, you're violating our rules by presenting yourself as a moderator. Foloowing the guidleines will help us keep our forums uncluttered and on topic :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
LAVA 1.0 Content Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Would it help to tag such a message as 'spam' or 'reported' after reporting? I have been doing so to let others know that the moderators are aware of the issue. Ton Quote Link to comment

No, as that could be seen as responding negatively to the post, thus violating our rules. Just report it and our admin or a moderator will take care of it relatively quickly. Quote Link to comment

crelf Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Update: it looks like a lot of people got the PM'ed spam message that you're all talking about. We're working on it.
