SPAM in the forum

[Ñuño Martínez]

I've found SPAM in the forum here. The user's web-page is a pharmacy.

BTW, isn't there a button to warn moderators about this kind of messages?

Thanks for the heads up. The topic in question has been deleted.

You can report a post using the link [Report to moderator] within each posts. Alternatively you can also send me or one of the other admins a pm.

I can't find the [Report to moderator] link. I'm using "pgd-dark" theme. May be this theme hasn't the link.

We got completely spammed a week or two ago... hardcore porn sites in lots of different threads... thankfully it was all by the same user so I just deleted them :-)

As Traveler said... if it happens again just drop one us a mail and we'll get it sorted ASAP. With regards to the report link... I'm using the PGD-Dark theme and I have the link... I'm not familiar with SMF so I'm guessing, but could it be a permissions issue Traveler?

I'm using the PGD-Dark theme and I have the link...

Please, where is it (top, bottom, left...)? May be I can't see it because I don't know where it is.

At the bottom of each post, there is the line that separates your signature from the body of the post. When I view the forums, I get the posters IP address and the 'Report to moderator' link just above that line to the right hand side of the screen.

It is fairly obvious and stands out well, which makes me think it may be a permissions issue that is preventing standard users from using the functionality, although it does seem strange that it would be available to moderators and admins who can deal directly with the offending posts

All I see to the right above that separating line is a link that says "Logged". If I click on it, it explains about only moderators and admins being able to see my ip.

That is it, no "report to moderator" link at all.

If it helps, I am using the "SMF Default Theme - Core" theme.

cheers,

I have modified the settings for regular members to allow reporting of posts to moderators.

Much better!

[edit] I can see the link in this post but not in others (i.e. this and this)
