Most likely have automatic approval, the spammers get right in.

Mods are unaware unless you hit "the report to moderator tab"

These SCAM / clickbait posts are filling up the Dog Legislation page, also.

It's obvious the admins don't care, as no reply 24 hours later.

Don't care? Really? I bet I deleted 50 of them yesterday myself and I'm only one of 10 moderators. I hate it. You have no idea how much I care and how bad I hate that crap. I complain to the webmaster every day about it. But dang I have other responsibilities here besides the forums. We're trying. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's frustrating and it's getting worse. I visit other forums every day and I've never seen it on any other sites. Why just this one?...I don't know.

Thank you Todd, for ALL that you do for everyone. We know you have a lot more to do than to babysit the forums and take out the trash on them.

The real shame is that you have to...

Saw on the beagle classified forum that it is going to have a Facebook page. I'm affraid it won't be long before the whole forum is moved to facebook.

Like I said on the beagle forum if the spammers can be stopped on facebook they should be able to be stopped on this forum as well. I sure hope it doesn't move to facebook, if it does it will sure loose me as member

The spammer is on here simply because he found out about this Forum. He may have stumbled across it by accident and decided to give it a try.

I have accidently clicked on a couple of them when they had titles that sounded "appropriate" for what we usually see on these message boards. Now, I have to take time to first look at the title, then look over to see if I know the poster, or if the "name" is just a bunch of random letters, which is usually what this spammer uses, instead of a real name.

Either way, it is very annoying, but just for the record, these creeps are all over Facebook, also. You can block them, but they just change some of their information, & they are right back on.

Several of us have reported these spammers to Facebook, but it just continues, because the spammers seem to find a way around it.
