That's what I would like to know. They can block certain people from posting when they break the rules, so why not the one that has posted 20some spam posts?? |

yes we do see who the alerts are from and why we are getting alerted. Thank you for your diligence. i logged on this morning and took care of 32 alerts! you guys are all over it!!
On the other question the ip address can be blocked by upper level tech support most time they just reroute and keep posting. its not a real person.... its algorythims and programs that do it from what limited knowledge i have of IT. |

Location: Bennett, CO | There were 78 spam reports when I logged on a few days ago! - amazing how prolific they can be!
Yes we can tell who makes a report- but it does not log how many times one person reports. It really helps us find the spam as they have gotten more sneaky about how they post
