When these threads show up, everyone click on the little flag in the corner. If 5 people mark it as spam it gets removed and sent to the moderators.
Edit: Aside from flagging, if you see one of these threads can you post a link to the users profile here for the moderators. This will help them deal with the offender more efficiently! Thanks!
Report any spammer first. Add a link to the profile of the spammer to this thread.
Flag each thread as follows:
Tap the 'flag' at the bottom of the post
then tap 'spam'

I did the same thing yesterday, which is what inspired me to start this thread
@MorningTimeCloud Thank you. You mods must feel like babysitters sometimes. Or trash collectors
Thanks to our mods for volunteering for us.
Not sure this works. I keep marking you as spam but you keep telling me to cram it with walnuts and getting in the way of my get-rich-quick schemes!
Ive been called quite a few things over the years, but thats a first!
@anaquarind if you would lay off my prince there wouldnt be any need for that.
Hey guys, I'm glad you're able to flag these posts and remove them but maybe message a mod so we can find the the thread and remove the user. When you flag it, it doesn't remove the user leaving them free to spam again. I was looking for the flagged thread and it took me a while to find it. For some random things I suppose you wouldn't need to contact us but this bot is perpetual. Even leaving a link to the user's profile here would be helpful. Thanks!
it doesn't get sent to the moderators, it just places it elsewhere out of sight. If someone reports it we can see it easier.
;-)
I didnt know that. When you are the 5th person to flag it as spam a message comes up telling you it was sent to moderation for review, thats what i was going by. Thanks for letting me know
yeah it goes into a log. It's a very busy log. But we don't get a notification and the log has become a bit unreadable without a lot of work. It's all good though.
Sorry about that, I forgot to tell you, I was so excited to be able to mark the posts as spam.
