Please don't report new and obvious spam

Folks

We are being inundated with spam at the moment.

We see it fairly quickly and delete it.

If you see it before a mod gets to it

  • Don't report it. We will see it soon enough. Reporting it causes more work for the moderators as we have to delete your report as well.
  • Don't respond to it. It only encourages them.
Sometimes the spam is not obvious but just a vague post from a new user e.g.
" very good point"



If you see spam which is there more than 12 daytime hours, then do report it as we have missed it.



Many spammers post at 2 am, so it stays up until a mod zaps it the next morning. No need to report that either.
