Can you please create an easier way to report spam? This user "277789353" is clearly selling something and every one of their posts is spam. A report button would be very nice.

I copy the listing on the "all topics" page (the only page I go to ) and then go to another posting and at the bottom you will find "report violations" Click on it and hit paste in the posting/subject and in the message block as well......Complicated, but this is the 'progress' that the new page apparently requires. Like you, I wish there was a 'report violation' button to push.

This spammer 2777etc. used my post and then just added link to his sales page. So at the beginning it looks like a real post. I am also for simplifying procedure to report violations. For example this violation is not immediately noticeable. Report button would enable to get rid of it quickly.

Looks like the spammer 2777+ hit a multitude of posts. I wonder how they do that? One at a time? Very annoying and always timed so that there's no one at "home" to get rid of the spam.

Yes they time them pretty well. A report button that suspends the post in la-la land til reviewed would be great - that way a spam post would get very little exposure on the site - may help deter them.

I surf this web site 99 days out of 100 and when I find an obvious spam I take down the offending post's information and send an e-mail to the Webmaster. Don't know if the Webmaster appreciates that or not but it sure seems to work. thank you Webmaster(s). aloha
