An issue that has been bugging me, and i'm sure the rest of the moderation staff, if we see spam and go to remove it members have commented on the spam by saying 'Oh i reported you I hope you get kicked' or ' This is just spam can one of the mods please remove it'. Can I just please tell members to NOT reply to spam posts. By all means report spam via the button on the post or by pm but dont physically make a post about it
If one day alot of spam is posted, lets say 20 threads, and members have made comments on the spam, the moderation team then has to go to each member reply and delete it so that there is still a nice flow of reading. We already know what spam is and how to deal with it so please dont reply to spam or make a fuss. Just report it and then continue posting as if nothing happened. We will deal with it. Thanks
