    Hosta, if you click 'ignore'  you wouldn't see them ads but everyone else would.
    We'd only have to click once and not see them, anything from that "user", not wait for another 4 people to flag them.
    Just a thought.

    I've just flagged/reported  that new one for the 2nd time but it's still only showing 4 flags, so perhaps that isn't working properly....

    It seems to have worked now  :)

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    if you flag the same posting twice, it removes your first flag, so it goes back one, not forward

    I have an 'ignore user' button. If I click on the user page and click on the arrow next to the top, far right icon of a bod - I see the ignore button. But Hosta, I imagine that would block the account from your view only. The account is currently running at 158 spam reports. There should a cut off at five or so, no doubt. Something to suggest.

    and they all look the same so hard to know which you've flagged unless you watch the numbers

    If you falg twice it cancels the first one - just in case you accidentally flag a genuine post.  If you hover your cursor over the 'spam' bit, you'll see who has previously flagged it. :):smiley:

    Even trickier when some had the same time stamp.
    I started at the top and worked my way down.

    First I've heard of how and a reason why to report someone. .....will do it now .  I'm also going to report @pansyface for that language which I'm most unused to  :p
