Report Spam function

[WhiteRabbit]

On a few of the forums I post on, they have a 'report this post as spam' link which helps get rid of spammy posts quicker. It is possible (or worth) having this feature on the BP forums?

I see that someone's been having a spam fest!

Hi Giles,

The best way of stopping Spam Posts would be for all new registrations to be vetted by Bluepark before they are allowed to post. This would then stop the increasing number of Spam Posts and save Bluepark time in having to monitor the forum for the Spam and having to remove it.

I know the Forum can be a great way of advertising for Bluepark but potential new users would still be able to view posts. Also why not have a thread entitled something like "Thinking of Using Bluepark? See these Testimonials" and then shop owners who use Bluepark and don't mind giving testimonials or being contacted can post there.

Yep! I seem to be going for the record on number of posts today rather than their length, :)
