I do hope the wonderful ladies with this CSN will find out how to stop these terrible people who have been attacking our Board......it is a shame they can't be deleted.

    Coudn't agree more Glo!

    But I've become adept at spotting them. With their stupid subject lines, it's easy to just ignore them and not even click on....

    I have been a member of CSN board / family since

    2009 -- ... as soon as spanners are reported,  they are deleted by CSN monitoring Team.  

    While I am unhappy to see these spams,  I am delighted that CSN deletes them ...  once reported.

    Just my 2 cents ..

    They are deleted

    They are deleted by the Moderators as soon as they check in after someone flags the Thread/Post.  Anyone can Flag them - I just flagged one.

    Well it seems like a few of these have been on here for over a week.... and we all know that some of the Newbies would not understand ....  thanks girls for the input however... so you just have to click the 'Flag' button and that is supposed to take care of it ?

    Click on the 'Flag' button

    Click on the 'Flag' button and it will then as something to the effect of "Are you sure you want to flag this". Click yes and it will be flagged and the Moderators will attend to it.  I have never seen any SPAM that stayed on for a week or more but some will be reposted only to be delet d again.

    If you see that the 'person' who posted SPAM here has posted on a lot of other Forums - then (especially with the ones that are very active) you can go there and FLAG them.
