    We can report him @Ergates - using the same option, but press report and fill in the form instead. 
    Quicker to flag as long as there's enough people looking in. 

    Frankly, I'm sick of these clowns. They need properly banned, not just their posts/threads removed. 
    Alternatively - we should all just go on their websites and spam them endlessly instead  :)

    It's a bit like fox hunting @Ergates, if we eradicate the problem entirely, there's no sport.

    I do this on another forum but they just change one digit and reappear. It's impossible to shut them down, which is presumably the point. I find it hard to imagine they actually get any business from it - I really don't understand why they bother

    @raisingirl, I very, very rarely get influenced by advertising to buy something.
     However I frequently add products and manufacturers to my shopping ‘blacklist’ if the advert annoys me. I wonder if the advertising companies actually realise this? I can’t be the only one that does this?

    At least they have to make some effort though @raisingirl, which is something I suppose.
    There was one repeat offender the other day, whose profile  was still visible, and you could therefore see her posts too, even though they'd been removed from the threads. That's not great  :/

    💡 Could we have a spam zapping league table?

    It would be great but I'm not sure how it could work unless we keep a personal score . One point for every fifth hit. Delaying on a 3 could mean you miss out. We could, perhaps collate on a Monday so that the Sunday spammers can be included in the tally @Dovefromabove
