    No quicker, just didn't realise until today that there was a "..." menu at the top of the message which led to the spam flag

    Also didn't realise there were 2 typos in my original message until I saw it again

    Two persons reported me as spamming. Did I? No. It's mere perception. Sometimes, apparently, it doesn't mean a thing.

    Don't stress about it, Raina. Some people flag posts they don't like just for the heck of it. The moderators know what's spam and what's not, and if you happen to break a rule they will let you know about it.

    And on top of that, we warn the ones who consistently flag inappropriately

    Is there less spam or am I just not staying as late on the computer? I noticed less the last couple days in comparison.. It's all relative I suppose.. it'll never begone for ever. So I still get more chances to win at the 5th click! :D Got a lot of those the other night! :+1:

    Without wishing to tempt fate, it has gone very quiet - our friends from Korea have either given up or are on holiday. There have been a few one-off gibberish posts advertising miscellaneous crap, but no more than a couple a day

    Ok, I'm not crazy then... seemed that way to me as well. If we type very quietly ...they won't hear us nor spam us.

    The Korean spam is back, albeit not in major quantity yet - just killed 4 threads

    Could me a a mistake or someone didn't like what had been written. Some people just flag for the sake of flagging.

    @RainaProske Probably nothing at all, some members get bored I guess and click spam on ppl or abuse improperly. Almost seems if someone doesn't like a certain comment they flag it as spam or abuse. :noway:

    In the future or if you see you still are flagged you can contact Nova or a Mod to remove a spam or abuse flag that someone on the boards decided to click on your post. Mods can remove those flags if the threads aren't deleted already. So if you do see one you can always report your own post then to have the flag removed. :smiley:

    Thank you! It happened when I first came to the community, so it's no big deal. :smile: I just didn't know what I'd done wrong, but apparently, I was only tagged for spam twice. Thanks again!
