Maybe handing out one week vacations might be a good incentive for some clowns to stop replying to spam...

@Bobby, is there merit to the occasional reminder to the CCF, perhaps in Upper case/Bold letters, on what to do? I don't recall ever seeing an explicit message on what to do, but what you said makes perfect sense.

Handing out vacations is a wrong philosophy. Stampboards does it all the time and for stupid reasons like disagreeing with a mod. I got 6 months (!) for disagreeing with his high majesty running the site (An Australian Stamp Dealer).
Stampboards loss is your gain - I probably won't go back there ever. Just delete the spam and instead of banning, shame the respondateurs so they get message what they did was incredibly dumb.
For the record I have never seen spam on this website, but I have seen a lot of flaky new members who keep showing junk and near play money coins and a few too many, how much is it worth types, who get waht they want and vanish into the dust.

Once again, 9 replies to an obvious spam post. 7 different members made 9 posts. Yes, some numbnuts replied 3 times. This was a member with over 1,000 posts. For Pete's sake, report it and move on for cryin' out loud.
Again, no one here thinks you're funny or cute, but the spammer loves you for bumping the post back to the top.
I am indeed going to start handing out suspensions for this. Princetane, I don't care about your opinion or what Stampboards does, so just keep your thoughts to yourself.

My apologies, bobby131313. I reported it as spam within a couple minutes of the original post, but did foolishly put a comment out there. Won't happen again...

I also reported it but commenting overstepped me. Sorry this won't happen again.

I used to regard my mobile as a helpful friend. Not anymore. Thanks to the scammers, I now regard my mobile as an enemy, and I am instantly wary of any message, video, or email that may come my way. I am no longer involved in social media. I am however, very thankful for the CCF, where numismatics has been my lifelong interest, almost a passion. And thanks to the mods for keeping it safe.  |

If we responded to a spammer, can you tell us in a PM what was posted. I know that foreign languages are a key but, I'm not sure how to spot others - other than your suggestions above. Thanks a bunch!

Been so long since I've been on I can't tell the spam from regular posting when trying to see items for sale....  Edited by carmykle
