Is there anything we can do about this horrible company that sends spam email throughout the CSN site? The latest one is "sunOnoble" and is obviously the same company trying to flog generic cancer drugs on EVERY discussion board on CSN. It's so frustrating to be in the middle of a genuine discussion with a fellow survivor, and have these creeps try to sell their products!
Let's no take this laying down, people!!!

    Email CSN directly Von
    Hello. At the top of this page and on other pages on CSN they have a 'Contact CSN' link and you just click on that and tell them about this spam and if you can let them know on what subject matter it appeared. Problem is with this spam is that if they shut them down under one name they sometimes just use a different name so that the blocking doesn't work again on the new name or new IP address they might even switch too.

    Also at the bottom of the spam posting is a place that is next to 'reply' and it is for reporting offensive posts. Many are tellyin CSN about it that way too I'm sure.

    You might know these things but I don't know so thought I would give you some guidance on contacting CSN on this, it's annoying at the very least.

    Blessings, Bluerose

    Thanks bluerose!
    Yes, you're right about it popping up again & again- very annoying! I flagged all the spam I could see & also contacted CSN by email the other day. It's obviously the same company doing this, regardless of the name-changers.
    Thanks for your reply, and I hope you're doing well! It does get easier, praise God!
    Love, Von xx
