Forum spam?

Posted by bigblen in Growstuff Feedback & Support on July 09, 2019 at 08:02

I'm very new here - the second thing I notice is some spam in these forums, promoting pest exterminators. Is there any way to flag these. I know that moderating the forum would be a PITA for little reward…

I can't find this spam. Can you link to it?

It is subtle, but for instance the final posts in these threads:

oh my. they are subtle as. I didn't notice.

I can hunt the comments one by one, but i think i need to add "ban this user" functionality.

They're almost on topic!
