I keep reporting these accounts and their posts but I'm not sure someone is reading the said reports. I stopped bothering a while back. Not a single problem post report has been acted on in the last 6 months or more. Grant Darwin NT ID: 104173 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Not a single problem post report has been acted on in the last 6 months or more. That makes at least three of us reporting them. If nothing is done expect an exponential increase in spam posts as word gets around. ID: 104176 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
