@MNHQ The whole site is being spammed with ads for call girls in Dubai etc. Can you put a stop to this? Ive reported a few.

Me too. Trafficked women and a load of dodgy prescription medications

I've reported far less unpleasant spam- but loads of it none the less.

SweetSakura · 19/12/2022 11:31

Yes. Also it would be good if we could report from the title alone, rather than having to click onto the thread to report

Threadkillacilla · 19/12/2022 11:32

Every time I report I get error message. Nvm keeps my fingers warm.

TheCaddieisaBaddie · 19/12/2022 11:32

Lots showing up in active convos bit I'm not clicking on them

GimmeBiscuits · 19/12/2022 11:33

Reported a few recently

Why all in pregnancy? I'm baffled why a spammer would decide that that's the place to go with their dodgy sex lines.

LynneBenfield · 19/12/2022 11:33

Another one.

Thankfully no one is posting on them. They appear to be just reporting them and keeping them on 0 comments.

I'm trying to report but getting an error message

It’s probably not a human spammer. It’ll be a spambot/algorithm that isn’t terribly bright but is (sadly) brighter than MN’s spam filters

ApolloandDaphne · 19/12/2022 11:35

I clicked on two to report but I am not clicking on any more. I just hope MNHQ pick up on them quickly.

That probably means that it is being deleted so your report can’t be sent through as the thread no longer exists as an active thread.

Ah that makes sense thanks.

Hi all - thanks for posting. We've had this (likely spambot) for a few days now. We do think they're targeting the wrong audience...

We've added a few measures to catch them early but please do continue to report any that you see.
