Jaysi Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Have you tried AdBlock? I think he's referring to the new accounts that are made simply to post advertisements and web addresses on threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I think he's referring to the new accounts that are made simply to post advertisements and web addresses on threads. Jaysi is correct. It is annoying me mainly because it makes me go look at the topic to see what somebody has wrote, then I see it is just some random account advertising Nikes, so I was just wondering if there was actually any way to deal with it except to try and ban them and delete the posts as fast as they come, like a 50 times more annoying version of whack-a-mole. I only started seeing it happen very recently too, I wonder if it is the same person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pchacker Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 this has to be the hight of irony... The one who spams, is the one who's complaining about spam. Pot... why you so black?

ginosaji Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Mark as spam when you see it, the filter will take care of the spam posts from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midknight Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Gonna unlock this for just a moment to add this; when you see spam like this, do not quote it. If you quote it, you're helping the spammers because it tags Google with those links more times and gives them more priority on Google searches (which is why the spammers do this in the first place). Also, when we're playing whack-a-mole with a bunch of spam posts, it's entirely possible to see a quoted spam post and mistake it for the actual spam post... I accidentally banned someone earlier today because of that. Just report and then ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
