Reporting spam

Ok is there actually a report button somwhere on the forum these days?
kinda obvious spam bomb going on right now but for the life of me I cant see a way to flag it up anymore. :thinking:

You need to press the ā€¦-button, then you will find the flag-button - but Iā€™m catching up to them :wink:

Does that actually help to stop the spam?

Not really, but if a post gets reported multiple times, I believe it is being hidden for non-moderators.

:broom: :soap: :sponge: :bubbles:
:ok_hand:

But please report spam that is being posted in regular topics, as we might miss that otherwise :hammer:

Perhaps there should be a limitations on new accounts to wait 24 hours for them to make new topic

Something every legit new user would be really thrilled about :grimacing:

Usually we can only identify spammers after they have posted something. Also from my observations spammers sometimes only register users and return later to post their stuff. Others will likely adapt to any policy changes at our end.

Cheers mate, figured someone would catch it eventually.
also thought hte flag button was for my follow up so I can keep track of intertesting posts or somthing, but that does actually make more sense :smiley:

There are 2 ways to do that. In a particular thread.
