How do we stop these posts

[markdoc]

Is there a way to stop people from turning our forum into a store? If I want to shop, there are websites for that. When I need help, I don't want to scroll through ads and/or get multiple emails selling me junk. I thought this was a safe harbor. Do we have a moderator?
Sorry, I spoke to soon. Thanks to whoever you are!

Already gone, unfortunately ll we can do is catch it when we see it and spam it.

Yeah, report the posts and move on.

Any suggestions are probably best done via PM with the mods or via the Private Chat With Staff forum, where only you and the staff can see the thread. Discussing spam-prevention methods in public has an obvious drawback .

Sorry for jumping the gun. Thanks for taking care of us. It is appreciated.

I agree. Sorry that I jumped the gun.
Thanks!

If you see it, Mark, report it (under tools). Mods don't like it any more than we do.

Thanks Pit. I've been using Chrome for these forums and I can't find "Report". I guess I'll have to use the proper app.

I just installed the app and Violá, there's 'Report'.
Thanks again.

On chrome, click on the poster, profile, and there should be a "report" heading... Click on it and report both fields as spam.
Mods will see as soon as possible

On any desktop browser I use the report button is on the left, under the post. Using a mobile browser you use the "tools" button (for someone else's post "report" will be the only tool).

Or, as said above, go to the poster's profile page and there's a report button there.

I'm using chrome also, Mark.
Just hit tools and the report option shows up in the drop down menu.

I obviously missed it, Thanks!

Thanks again, Pit. I obviously missed it. I blame it on too much Turkey, but I had duck. Maybe I'm quacking up. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
