If I didn't know better, being 'queen' or 'king' would be a negative in your world, huh?

While I know it can be therapeutic to give negative reputation to spammers - negative reputations doesn't get reported to anyone...

Please use the Report Post function when you see spam that might have been missed by the moderation staff - we don't always see everything... but reported posts we do see and can act on...

thanks

How exactly does one tell if a post/thread is spam or from a troll? (Sorry, my ignorance is showing . . . ) I've never seen or come across that I don't think.

We try to get to it before anyone sees it - so the fact that yo haven't seen any - means we're doing an ok job


spam is pretty blatant - someone is selling something.. or it's their first post and they have a link to a moronic website. often times the person's signature will contain a link to some site - especially sites like clickbank and other sites that clicking the link puts money in s omeone's pocket

So, someone who links to their webiste that promotes losing 9 pounds in 11 days (or some such bunk) isn't spam?

I only ask because I thought it was spam, reported it as such over a week ago...and the post still remains as the last post on a sticky thread in the newcomers forum.
