Wouldn't help if people keep reposting the numbers.horpe but can’t implement a simple… if title includes “call” and “girls”…. Delete post.Reposting a screenshot of just how bad it is, is hardly "helping the scammers."
Whinging should be directed in the right direction.

You really don't need to do any of that, just send in ONE report only regardless of the number of threads you see raised. It took me about 10 minutes to kill of all the spammers and remove all their threads, it then took me a further 10 minutes to get rid of all the masses of reports that come in!
I thank you for all your efforts but you really are wasting your time reporting that many threads.

I'll bear that in mind, as I reported several this morning, but tried to ensure I wasn't reporting posts from the same user.It took me about 10 minutes to kill of all the spammers and remove all their threads, it then took me a further 10 minutes to get rid of all the masses of reports that come in!

But if one report will suffice, that's what I shall do in the future.
For what it's worth - the "anti flooding system" makes it difficult to go back and reply with reported as it makes you wait several seconds - the same "anti flooding system" which doesn't prevent spammers from posting multiple posts from different accounts in quick succession.
Kind of makes the anti flooding system pointless, not so??

What would help most if is if there was a proper vetting process and set of filters to stop these things from being posted in the first place.

Why repost the numbers? If just one persone phones, it encourages the scammers. Why help them?Reposting a screenshot of just how bad it is, is hardly "helping the scammers."

I'm not reposting the numbers, but the fact that the entire front page is filled with these scammers. At that moment, it seemed that no-one was aware or dealing with it, so it was a visual point to hopefully show the extent of the problem.Again, why shoot the messenger who is simply trying to alert the right people to a problem to try and stop the forum looking dreadful?

Previously
One "report" per spammer user ID was all that was required
Then respond to the threads either saying reported (or humorous comment AKA Rusty) that should stop other PH'rs also reporting reducing the clean up needed in the reporting process (which none of us can see)
Now
"Just report one post - maybe put something in the comments to say "Spammers - hundreds of em"
Post up in the threads to say reported to help reduce the level of reports submitted?
Have I got that right

Does it even matter. Any 'guidance' is for the five vaguely interested people in this thread and not going to reach the eyes of the users as a whole.
May as well just leave them to it.
Might not matter to you and that's fineMay as well just leave them to it.
If we are creating issues for the mods that take longer to resolve than cleaning up the spammers I'm pretty sure the five vaguely interested people would rather not do that.
