And that people posting " reported" on every thread serves no purpose other than bringing the thread up. Just report it FFS you don't need to tell everyone you have. It's as if they are looking for a gold star or something.

I haven't seen any of these spam threads.

And now (deep breath) I am going to ask a very silly question:

is it because I have got AdBlocker?

I genuinely don't know!

No, Mintyy. It's because HQ have shut down registration, or at least had yesterday, so they could stop the influx and get a handle on things.

There by the time you posted that, there was no SPAM left!

Maybe they only look if two or more report.

I agree it looks like the poster is looking for a gold star, and
It brings the thread up in active convos so more people can pile in for a ruckus.

No need to blow the trumpet, indeed why shouldn't multiple reports go in, there may well be a three strikes and your out policy going on : to only have one report will negate any rating system mn have which we know not what of..

HQ look at all reports, no matter how many something gets. Don't be daft.

They have asked us to stop reporting them before the reporting system crashes from the overload.

There's a whole thread about this in Site Stuff.

That is really unfair. MNHQ were working day and night to get on top of this, they had hundreds of spammers posting uncountable threads.

And you don't have to use their free website, if you don't like them making ad money to pay their rent and their staff. And to make a living. Why should they do it for free?

Bloody cheek.
