Shits me to tears. Discount should just be on a 6+month old active account. That way if you want it its something you actually have to contribute, not just thread dredge and post meaningless shit that has to be cleaned up.

All my posts where deleted anyway.

And now the post I made after all my old ones where deleted has been expunged as well. And the fact is some of those where relevant and genuine. You've basically thrown out the baby with the bath water because of some users gripe.

and why not a least do me the curtesy of notifying me of deletion first or look and deleting those most recent.

Indeed, please report them in stead of posting screen shots. it is easier and works faster.

Thanks

This appears to get more response than reporting.

Really? I find that once i report it's fairly quick. Unless i report at some ridiculous time in the morning.

Reporting actually works. Most (if not all) of all the posts I reported as spam were deleted. Thanks all the mods for the house cleaning.

But I agree that the discount rule "promotes" that kind of junk posts...

I report regularly but hoped that the actual account gets banned instead of just the particular post I flagged (I like to help clean up the place but flagging 10 posts is beyond my patience)...

Just pop a comment in. "Halfwit is spamming boards to bump post count"

9 times out of 10 the halfwits entire repertoire of pointless gibberish and random thumbsup emojis will be gone within an hour.

Occasionally they won't.

I still think we need a 5th button in the report post menu "post count bumping".
But nevermind.

It doesn't. When you report a post, it gets shown in our notifications menu top left in the screen. we can then click on that and get directed to the offending poster. This works way more effective then going into this forum to find a screenshot. then search for the offending poster and take action.

Please use the report function in the future.

No need to flag 10 posts. pop in that comment and flag only one. we can easily take action after that.
