Reporting Spam to Gardenweb

19 years ago

At the bottom of the forum page where each thread is listed, there's a green band with "Contact Us" at the far right side.

Go to the offending thread,

copy the "http" thingie from your browser window,

go back to the main page,

click on "Contact Us".

Choose subject "Report Abuse of Forums",

paste http into message subject window,

& paste it once again into message area, or put description into message area.

Be sure to change subject to "report abuse";

the default subject is "gardening question", & if you don't change it, you'll get a message from gardenweb saying that they're sorry but they don't have the staff to answer gardening questions.

I toyed with the idea of doing that when I 1st saw it but decided against it as I haven't had any complaints actually answered since Ivillage bought the place. Back in the day when Spike was here, he was on top of things. Never thought I'd say I missed him lol

Guess GW needs to do something to stop it. Disgusting to have the forum crapped up like that.

I generally report this crap and my experience is that it gets removed.

It can take up to 48 hours for reported spam to be removed; I've reported some in the past that stayed there and scrolled off eventually.
Those multiple puma nike posts are annoying.
