If you come across an obvious spam posting, i.e., cell-phone sellers, etc., copy the link to the message and reply to this topic.

I have subscribed to be notified by email for any new replys, so should see it sooner than by just browsing through the site. Richard also will pick up on it quicker, so we can get rid of the message and lock the spammer's ISP.

Will and HH - and everybody else.

If you post a link to spams here, I will be notified by email and can get to them quicker.

I can delete the threads, but Richard also has to know so he can block the spammer.

I have also found sometimes, spam posts within existing threads - please notify us if you find any of these, also.

Thanks.

I assume this refers to the platform for poets post. Easy to spot, platforms are for trains round these parts. I was spammed in reality by a poet on a search for a platform recently. The lad was suffering from the delusion that wanting to be something qualified him to be it. But we got up there and sang our songs. Thanks for your labour in keepin' this side of the street clean. Them sinews hacked many a tune out of a banjo Richard. He'll know he was smote.

Thanks, Will.

14 pages to hear 3 secs of music, through at least 3 flashing ads a page?

Gerry -

Yeah, we have been getting some of these PR "rep" posts lately. I wanted to delete them as is done on most other sites, but Richard feels that they are possibly alerting other forum members to music they might enjoy.

I know at least 2 members who participate in this type of post are paid reps of labels who do this on many forums. I've seen the exact same wording there.
