spammer onboard the vine

how do we report spammers when we see them?

ETA, found how to report, and have done so.


enjoy your time on the vine...contribute positively while you're here eh?!.

[zazen999]

there's lots of them at the moment...

[quark1]

Ignore and report wherever you suspect!

[smallblueplanet]

How do you report them?

eg grishokovpit & ashomblomprick or whatever they're called?

[quark1]

Pigletwillie is my first port of call - he's a mod I remember by 'rote' - or possibly as he has an easy name - sorry Piglet if I direct 'too' many your way - but you're the name I remember best!

Just click on the red triangle at the top of post.

[Seahorse]

The red triangle is the easiest way all round, especially as I get a 'ping' then, so if I'm online but not on the 'Vine, I can hurry back!

It's also fine to PM either myself or Pigeltwillie directly.

Is there a way if they've not posted yet? I mean no way are grishokovpit & ashomblomprick real gardeners!

this is like the person from Moldavia/Tanzania/Lithuania (he wasn't sure which) that I wrote about yesterday. http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ide_24710.html

He hadn't posted, so I couldn't hit the red triangle yet.
I PM'd Seahorse and she got onto it as soon as she could.

Well they're certainly not a firm of Solicitors with names like that.............which remeinds me of another well known firm of Solicitors ...............Haddaway & Shite!

Thought so. I wondered if there was a 'button' to press rather than send pms or start threads, but pm it is then!

@Snadger behave!

[Seahorse]

Yup, unfortunately, there's no 'auto' function to report non-posting 'new chums'

Is it possible to add one? Mebbe Ben could do it before he leaves...

D'you think we should have another couple of Mods...?! Not that you guys are doing a bad job, I just think you're probably getting snowed under at the mo...

No, they are not. If you come across any such names, send it to either Seahorse or myself and we will crop them. We are being spammed to death at the minute but thankfully very little is actually getting through.

Keep reporting them posts and we will keep on top of them.

Whilst all the spammers annoy me just as much as everybody else (do they actually get enough out of it to make it worthwhile?) is it really right to ban somebody for having a name that simply seems a bit strange / iffy. If they've not posted then there isn't really any evidence that they're a spammer, there's loads of people on here that have never posted and some of them probably have strange names.
