Reporting Spam Posts
Please help us keep the V7 Network free of spam by taking a moment to report spam when you see it.
All you need to do is click on the exclamation point icon (see screenshot below) that you see at the bottom left hand corner of every post. This will alert the moderators that there may be a problem, allowing us to take care of it as quickly as possible. Thanks!

You would be surprised how many times I report Cricket's posts, but nothing ever gets done about her 
But seriously folks, can I just say thank you to all of you who do report posts, it is only with your help that this place is the wonderful forum it is!
Make Cricket's day, report a post right away  |

I cannot stress this enough. To report a post you need to use the report post icon. Do not send private messages to moderators (or myself) concerning an issue with posts as this doubles our work load.
Thank you for understanding.

What is going on lately?
Seems someone is building up their link count and then posting tons of spam - software sales.

You will notice it was removed after it was reported.

someone post a spam message here, now removed, on polo shirts.
Must be an automated process.

Moderators remove it when they see it or when it is reported.

I am seeing nothing but spam messages all across the forum. Doesn't it get annoying?

Well, in my case, I did not report those kind of posts simply because they are already marked with three little red Xs but do we have to report those kind of posts? Or it will soon disappear? I will be glad to report those kind of posts if they won't disappear...

Yep. Looks like some of them are bots/programs or whatsoever. It only means that V7N is a very nice place that's why even bots find this heavenly place so attractive and because of that, we should be responsible enough to exert a little effort to help them (mods) to clean V7N.
Always remember: A community that uses the report button together stays together. lol

Please report any spam even if it appears the user is already banned.
Sometimes we miss the odd post when cleaning up, so any help you can provide is... well... helpful!

When you open the spam, there is an exclamation mark on the top right hand side.
Click on it, and report the PM.
Hope it helps. |
