Spam PM

[Elia LePhant]

Well that's a new one. I just got a spam PM about spying on my significant other from member "adealru".

I wasn't sure where to report it (and let's be honest I am too lazy to email someone) so I figured here was best.

On that, please hit the report button with an explanation and we'll take care of it from there. All the necessary information will be contained in the report that's generated for the mods

I got the same thing and posted elsewhere about it before thinking to report it or check here.

What report button? I might need a screenshot or detailed instructions, please.

It's the little triangle with an exclamation point in it. When you click that button, it will give you an option to say why you're reporting the post, and when you hit submit, it creates a thread in the Mod Squad forum with a post from you including the content of the post you reported, the poster and where the post can be found, and your explanation for why you reported it. It makes it very easy for us to evaluate and ban people as spammers as necessary.

It's also why you should never push that button on any post in a private forum. What's in those fora doesn't need to appear in Mod Squad

Thanks kindly, Kelgan! Screenshot was very helpful. :shifty

The guy that sent this seems to have really gotten around, based on the number of reports in Mod Squad. We have closed the loophole that this spammer exploited in order to send these PMs, and it should not happen again. Apologies for the inconvenience!
