I've a question - if we see one of those annoying spammers pushing their rubbish (as Mollygirl so eloquently put it) on a thread, do we alert the moderator, or is there somewhere we can report to?
I'm really tired of it - it's pollution to the feel-good bh environment.

High SPF50 & Nice Packaging
I bought this as the high SPF50 offered in it is a great thing for protecting lips and appealed to me. I loved that it did that.
Favourite mascara
This mascara is one of the best drugstore mascaras I’ve tried in a very long time. I have tough lashes that are mostly straight so it is usually hard to get a mascara that adds volume and length!
Sarakhan12As a kid, I generally took my mother's lash styler from her vanity and twisted my own lashes. One reason…

I agree, it would be nice to have a 'report post as spam' option next to all posts so we can simply click that instead of writing an alert moderator mini report.
I agree. It seems spammers are on the rise and it is really irritating. It would be nice to be able to just click a button and have the post reviewed.
You can just alert the moderator and it gets removed quicker than if you don't!! It's soo damn irritating, we don't want fake crap spammers!!!
Hi there, Yes, we have had an increase in the number of spammers on the site recently. We do try to be very vigilant and take action asap but if you see any spam posts, please use the Alert Moderator link at the top of each thread. Just a heads up, we are working on a solution - a way to permanently block frequent spammers so hopefully this will help although they are quite difficult to get rid of completely.
The support from you guys is great. Let's work to keep our beauty community free from annoying spammers! x
Thanks, Leanne! There's been a surge recently from tedhusan who's been spamming a few threads, which is so off-putting.
I'd suggest that there be a "report spam" link for each post, and that if say 2 turquoise members who each have over 500 forum posts flag it, the post would be reported to moderators and hidden until reviewed.
My reason for suggesting turquoise with a minimum number of posts is that these are people who have been on the forums here for a reasonably long time. It could just as easily be a limited group chosen by the moderators based on the members' contributions. Setting the threshold too low could mean troublemakers might game the system and make false reports. Setting it too high could mean that spam goes unmarked for much longer or at all.
Also, it might be worth automatically hiding all posts and suspending all posting from posters who have been reported for spam by the above mechanism.
^^ Great suggestions AliceJane.
A report spam and having it deleted by 2 Turquoise members would be a good idea, AJ!
Although with the new system and having a verified email, perhaps that could be one way of stopping/limiting spammers posting?
I like this idea AliceJane of being able to hide a post if 2 turquoise members with a certain number of posts click a button :)
Yeah I agree. We need something and I think that would be easiest for the BH girls they don't have to do as much moderating.
It will be a wonderful day the day BH can permanently rid the site of spammers. They are such a waste of breathing and good quality reading space.
I agree! I loathe spammers - get enough of this everytime I open my email - if I believed everyone I'd be a multi-trilliontrillion- aire from all the lotteries I win!
Yeah.....or how many "lovely" people from Africa have "chosen" me to receive their fortunes. Or how many DEAD relatives I've had that have a big estate leftover and there's no-one else but ME!!!! left to give it all too. IF only life was that simple and easy. I actually wonder how many people fall victim to these unbelievable stories??
Anyone noticed the multiple spam from the same user on the threads relating to oral care? INFURIATING!!!
Yeah Pinglet, I've just alerted the moderator to "collin" on all the threads. This time it's escort agencies!...
Yeah I alerted over 30+ mins ago of this collin character!!!
I have also alerted them, before I saw that you guys had too...it is very frustrating.
Ha ha that's funny, sounds like we've all spammed the spammer...
Me also...lol
Uh oh, he's back. Wish we could disable the account...
Wish these stoopid spammers would just GO AWAY >:[
Here Here!! I wholeheartedly agree Pinglet!!!
They are def. clogging up the boards. Anyone else getting irritated with the user "persunshop"? I believe they are trying to "blend in" but are a spammer. All their posts link back to whatever persunshop is and whenever someone says something this user replies but doesn't seem to understand the post at all (terrible english?). /rant
I know what you mean, Saltine. Sometimes, you've gotta give a bh user the benefit of the doubt though - 'bad England not always means they is spammers'. But our intiution often makes us go 'hmmmm'...
Especially when they keep suggesting an online store, which they happen to share their user name with, and when they keep asking if we would buy Chanel knock-offs :(
