person spamming every folder in our proboard forum

[cheryl]

This person is continuing to spam our forum with this same junk.  I've reported it over and over but the posts remain up and new ones are added.  We don't have an administer anymore because unfortunately he passed away.

cheryl -

Sorry to hear about the passing of your administrator.


Please be aware that when you report a post, that report only goes to the administrator of the forum. Unfortunately with no administrator, there was no one to address the reports.

I have cleaned spam from the forum based on what I could see and from all the post reports that have been made. If per chance I have missed anything, please let me know and I'll take care of it.


In the future if there is an issue, please either come back here and let us know. Or you can click the Report Abuse link found at the bottom of each forum page and our Abuse Team will assist you.


Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much, Scott.  I was thinking that my reports were probable going to a dead account but I wasn't sure.  If I decided to become the administrator so I could manage the spam, what would be involved?  As for clicking on the REPORT ABUSE link, I did that first but I had trouble figuring out what was wanted to fill out the form.

Naw, it's all good.  I understand first instinct is thinking a PM on one's primary forum.
