See just about every forum. Spam.
Aggravating as Hell, isn’t it?
Right now all we can do is Flag/Report & Mods (
poor Mods) will keep up as best they can.
I did suggest - on the Help Forum thread on the new BB - they add some way to Flag a Thread or show someone has reported it. < like when you have posted to a thread & it shows a green folded page.
Now I just assume if I see a Spammy thread with 1 reply that it has been reported.

Rather than just Flag the post and having to reply “reported”, could there be a red flag icon that shows up has it having been flagged for the Mods?
My hours can be somewhat weird over the weekends, so my apologies for the delayed poofing of spam. I don’t think anyone is falsely posting that they have reported spam when they actually haven’t, so if someone has posted that it’s been reported, it’s just that we haven’t gotten to delete it yet. Reporting it again won’t help us get to it faster, though it’s fine if you want to report it again if you’re not sure.
FWIW, I’ve asked a couple of times for help from the developers in addressing this rash of similar spam plaguing the dressage forum lately. I haven’t heard anything back yet, but hopefully it’s in the queue.
At least this spam is easy to identify by the double commas, though I appreciate it is aggravating to see it polluting the forum!
Thanks for your help and patience.
