Hi All,

I think there should be a report topic, or message button .... or some form of spam security !!!

what prompts me to think this is the following two posts from pmemory

http://www.discusforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6224

which in my mind are just spam !!!

what does everybody think ? is there anything we can do to stop this ?

Thanks for the heads up.

I run a check on profiles at least twice every day which removes any profile that has dubious web links, or is from a known spammer.

Other than that there is usually an Advisor on hand who can remove the posts in question (as has already been done).

Functions like 'Report a post' are good, but they can be an administrative nightmare. I have been on sites before where people would report a post because it was asking a question that may have been asked before, and having a list of 20-30 reported posts per day, for really no reason took a lot of time to verify each post.

If there is something of such a nature, it would be just as easy to put up a post in here like what has been done.

Thank you.

When the next site update is done, I will look into a report function of some sort.
