Frequently Asked Questions

What is Spam?

Spam is any post containing unacceptable subject matter, for these forums this includes but is not necessarily limited to:

  • Scams (phishing etc)
  • Most advertising
  • Posts containing links to malicious sites
  • Any posts whose content is religious in nature
  • Any posts whose content is political in nature

What should you do if you see a post you think is Spam?

  • DO NOT REPLY TO IT. This can not be stressed strongly enough, replying just draws attention to it and effectively helps the spammer.
  • If you are not a moderator for the forum that the post is in then use the “Report” button that appears at the bottom of every post. You can simply put “I think this is spam” in the report dialog that appears.
