Research threads in Special Needs (esp bumping up old threads)

There seems to be a few of these every month, where people come on to sn chat and sn children, asking research questions and bumping up multiple zombie threads in order to research their product, promote a survey or get info for their thesis.

I can't find a proper board for them to go to, but I think they need to be redirected.

Primarily the sn boards are about support and advice, not educating and providing information to people, no matter how well meaning. Plus there are threads that have naturally died a death suddenly back in circulation.

Is there a solution, please!?

Hello

It sounds like they're spamming, basically - in which case we will zap them if they're reported (and point out that we have a paid-for Non-Member Requests board for this sort of thing). So please do report 'em.

@zzzzz

I've reported three today.

Thanks zzzzz - has it been dealt with now? (I can't see your reports any more so I think it must have been...)

Yep, it sure is. Do feel free to point out to them where they're going wrong, as well as reporting them (although often they're just hitting and running and not reading replies.)

Pretty sure you won't hear from this particular one again...
