I think you have very effectively written off your potential market on here!

have reported

I'm reporting them too. They're taking over whole forums!

Also reported - they have spammed Education and Secondary Education topics too

Fark me they're like a virus!

I am lolling at their spelling of Egham. It is a place, not a collaboration of foodstuffs.

I fear Kirsty may be a Bot
I've reported dozens of posts but more keep appearing ruining the site

Just hijacked an old thread of mine too! (how to help 12yo learn spellings on primary ed)

Do you think they started threads?

I was just wondering why tutoring was so poplar today

MNHQ are no longer reply to individual reports of posts - I hope this means they're doing something clever behind the scenes to stop more posts (and hopefully delete the whole lot!)

Guess none of us will be using their services after this!

just reported another one .

Hopefully they are just deactivating the account and deleting all the posts!

It amazes me that supposedly smart people think that blanket spamming is a good marketing move.

They actually re-spammed a thread where their original post had already been deleted

I've reported them twice and they've been deleted. Is she still spamming?

no more posts in the last 10-15 mins or so

fingers crossed

I've just done a search! I really can't be arsed to report all of them so here you go, I'll do one mass report!:

I've reported all of them, belle - I think others have too

Bloomin spammers! Grr!

I messaged 'kristy' to ask her to stop spamming mumsnet. This is her reply:

"This isn't really a business advertisement. I am trying to help parents looking for tuition for their children.I'm helping out rather than spamming.
Seriously if I had a business I wouldn't be posting. But this organisation helped my 7 year old son and 16 year old daughter.
Thank you very much."

Yeah, right. So I tried again - certainly reads like an ad, you're not doing the business any favours etc. Got this back:

"It's just a friendly thing! I just want to help mothers like me find te right tutor for cheap so they won't undergo any struggling with all these 'deposit' agencies.
I am sorry if it hurts the business but I am sure a lot of Mums like myself are more than happy to help their child! I am doing it for the benefit of others!
I am sorry if it offended you in any way! I would recommend it to your children too!
Have a lovely day and best regards to you and your family!"

How stupid does she think we are? Or is the stupidity on the other side of the line....

oh, I think she sounds simply lovely!!

She's still at it - not advertsing for her self of course but as a mum

You know, it would be a real shame if, as the result of spamming her email all over the place, a "bot" scraped her email and she ended up getting a load of spam email.

Wouldn't it?

Wouldn't it be funny if kirsty was just a fan.

I expect yoursmartchildnow would be trying to track her down and shoot her for making them sound like slightly dim teenagers who can't spell or construct a professional advertisement.

I reported a couple before seeing this. I guess if your child is so smart now they wouldn't need a tutor.

I am left wondering what a "student recruitment group of tutors" is to be honest

does that mean the tutors are students

and will they all be equally illiterate?

I've just seen a potential market open up for me and my year 11 science class...now, how best to launch my ad campaign....

OOOh I've managed to annoy it now She/he/it has just sent me a snotty private mail.

Someone really has too much time on their hands. Guess the tutoring business is slow right now for illiterate, unintelligent tutors....
