Guest Yachtsman1 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 This morning when I checked my email, there were two from PTE one advising me someone had replied to my Gangman Style thread, the other replying to another thread I had bookmarked. When I opened the link to my thread, there was no new reply, same on the other link. Both comments were posted by a name I didn't recognise. One obvious reason could be the poster changed his mind, the other being someone remove the posts for some unknown reason. This is not the first time I had seen this. However in view of my recent experience with one of my threads being moved without being informed, can I suggest that if the reason is the post or thread has been deemed to be dodgy, that the remover leaves a short message advising that it has been removed/moved so we aren't left wondering why.Yachtsman1.

Guest Yachtsman1 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 HI Eric,This may have been my fault. There were 2 spam messages off topic from users with only 1 posting that I set to disapprove status which makes it hidden. Then I submit a spam report to the administrator for further action. It never occurred to me to notify the person in the original post that the message had been marked as spam. I figure I did my part and it's up to Igor or someone else with administrator privileges to delete the user or approve the post. I guess what I am trying to say is that it was something I did to try to clean up the forum. I think when you don't keep on top of this stuff it can get out of control in a hurry. I can't guarantee that I will send a message to the original poster. I guess I could post a message to the thread.Sorry,TomThanks Tom, that's good enough for me. B)/> Regards EricYachtsman1.

I can read emails on my server before I download them and it was definitely spam. So I just dumped it at my server. Tom must have dealt with it pretty quickly.Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 In cases where I see obvious spam, I just delete it. If that's not correct, and if I have to fill in several forms before doing something against spam, I will avoid doing it.

fh1805 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I also simply delete the spam posts, ban the user from any further posting and notify Igor of the userid that needs to be deleted. I do not notify anyone else of my actions as I have done all that is necessary to eradicate that particular spam item and to prevent any more spam from that user.regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
