does anyone know why MN doesn't have out-of-ours volunteers trusted to delete spammers?

reni2 · 22/10/2015 00:35

I just fear it might work and they get business that way, doesn't matter if they irritate 100.000 if they get 1000 people paying up... Might lead to people copying this.

FFS given the language in the reply earlier in the thread it certainly looks that way!

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 22/10/2015 00:09

Is it me or is the reply to fuckit really unprofessional and surely if your a professional site you'd say something like "we provide an excellent guide to parents who value our directory of schools' not peeps need to know the truth. Who in business says peeps?! And there's no pros to the website.

Also they don't seem to understand what spam is!

The good school guide web address Is www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk/subscribe the web site in the spammy posts starts with HTTP// it doesn't have the S (Ie not secure)

I think that means that it might not be anything to do with the good school guide and that it might be a cloned website?

reni2 · 22/10/2015 00:03

Maybe we should post these email addresses on all threads in Primary Education so they don't get any business but plenty of complaints from this. People so rarely look in site stuff. Their links are up there long enough tonight to plausibly wash in business and if successful it will be repeated by others.

time for a complaint to the Good Schools Guide.

I see no reason why they should receive 60 identical complaints, do you?

Feenie

that is a really excellent idea. I think I will too. I think it's also useful to say here and now that The Good School Guide are a bunch of immoral and dishonest spammers to try to get free advertising and are not trustworthy.

Lurkedforever1 · 21/10/2015 23:07

Yes, I got bored of reporting their stupid wanky spam too.

reni2 · 21/10/2015 23:03

findingschools seems to have form for this, they were banging on about this guide months ago.

Emailed them (address on about section of website) to point out that spamming has probably alienated about 3 million parents in one go. Idiots.

And FYI findingschools - no one on MN will use your shifty website now anyway. Dickheads.
