Spam in my inbox.

Apr 25, 2014

I received a spam message in my inbox this morning. How do we report these?

Hi Keith,

I was able to take a look and see the spam account belongs to "Barrister AnnaBee". I've banned the account, so you shouldn't see any other messages from this user. 

If you see any of these types of private messages again, just reach out to one of the staff members. You're welcome to send a message to me directly, or any other staff members on the forums. 

Nancy,

I cannot seem to find a post on your wall that's spam - perhaps my eyes are failing me this morning :) I see quite a few favor/congratulations, but not spam. I'm also not sure if we're able to remove wall posts, but if you can let me know which account made the post, I can look into it.

Thanks!

Hi Christine - it is the one from Blackbearhunting Ontario. It is subtle but it is spam.

Nancy,

After a little more digging, I discovered the account has already been banned. Looks like they were reported previously, but the wall posts are still up. Again, I'm not sure we can remove these, but thankfully they didn't post any links, etc.

Thanks! I hope you have a great Friday!

Ok thanks for checking into it Christine. I know you guys are talking about redesigning the forum so a nice feature might be to give us the ability to approve/remove messages posted to our own wall.
