Too much spam!!!

There is ridiculous amounts of spam on these forums lately. When there's only about 3/4 posts a day on a sub-forum, and 2 are spam it makes it hard to be bothered to stay around

It's frustrating me to hell... the only thing to do atm is to hit the ignore button on the bottom of the posts and the spammer will vanish from your view.

At least we know admin are ignoring the spammers as much as they're ignoring us.
It would be adding insult to injury if they were getting preferential attention

As TRD says, if you "ignore" the spammer it'll solve the problem in the short term. If you can take the time to click the report button before you do, I can then put a mass block on them for everyone else.
Thanks for the reply.
I have reported some. And have been blocking them, this seems to only block their posts though, not their thread titles when browsing through forums.

Lol- thats one way of looking at it- must admit though, I've only recently joined the forums and the lack of staffing or professional advice or assistance on her really suprizes me- and outs me off remaining here for much longer... I'm hoping its a temporary thing and they'll sort it out ASAP but guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Blah blah blah
Is there anything specific you need assistance with summer?
I did TRY doing the 'report abuse' thing for spam on the beauty boards, but most of the time it doesn't seem to go away - it just stays there. And as the boards are so very quiet, sometimes it can stay there for days and days, so I stopped even bothering to report it. I offered my services as a moderator, to help deleting it, but didn't even get the courtesy of a reply.

Oooo, we always try to help.
Might not be professional, but at least its real !!!
Well dang, I found my original profile and sign in ! Tis me !
I may not always be right.... but I'm never wrong.

Sorry for going off on one- it just seems whenever I log in to have a glance through the forums, there are posts on "designer bags, clothes, Uggs, GHD's...." on the forum- from what I understand, the forums are a place to talk and discuss, not to advertise. It was something I was going to rise above and ignore, but the same threads were still there for days and days and days afterwards- irritating as I would have imagined someone admin wise would also take a glance at the forums at some point and see the spam and erase it. Suprized that did not happen.
Wasn't aimed at anyone in particular just the sheer volume of spam I kept finding and seeing. Maybe have a separate advertisment thread where said spammers and advertisers (if they are not the same thing) can all post to take the ads away from those of us who prefer to shop for the genuine article?

How ironic. The 'Forum Support & Suggestions' board has been spammed....it's been there over a day and the admins have done nothing.
RIP Handbag, you were loved and cared for once....sadly no longer.

The same user has spammed 7 times in fashion the past few days. Not sure if anyone has reported them but I just have.
6 out of the 7 dwarfs aren't happy.
I'm sick of reporting spam. I seem to be reporting spam more often than doing anything else on here. It never used to be this bad.
