How to report spam posts?

[TypoTonic]

I have seen cases of members posting topics that already exists. I would somehow understand if it was a buried topic, but the existing threads where they copied were literally at the first page with active members replying to the thread at the time of posting. Why need to post a new one? You can find them below.

• Skill or educational certificate copied from School or Skills?
• How small side hustles can help us accumulate Bitcoin copied from Fine a side hustle and accumulate Bitcoin.

What's more annoying is that after calling it out, I just get ignored by everyone. Even high rank members still reply, which just results in two different active threads with the same discussion and more spam. I don't know what to say. Is there a way to report this to the moderator managing the board?

Check your post has a "Report to Moderator" option at the bottom located in the right corner of every platform where you can report spam posts without any issues.

There is an option to provide details on what you feel is wrong with the post as well as explain why you believe it's spam.

There is a report to moderator button at the bottom right corner of every post on the forum you can use that and leave a reason why you reported in the dialogue box that pops up. Sometimes it can slip off some users minds that a post of sorts has been created before.

You should use the report to moderator button more and create a post about it if there are too many unhanldled cases that probably you also reported. Currently I have roughly 13 unhanldled reports 11 have been there for months don't know why they were ignored.

Thank you for sharing. I have used ninjastic.space before posting this. I have searched "How to report spam?" and "Report to moderator" and I couldn't find answers how to.

If you don't mind, may I ask what tool you used to search for this?

Thank you! Hopefully you guys understand my mistake. Do I need to delete this thread?

I have 50 unhandled reports. I have 70 bad reports. There was even one that was marked bad that I created a thread on Meta about. After it has been resolved, it was still marked as bad but it does not mean anything. Also are unhandled reports. There are some reports the moderator will not accept your report and also see it not to be marked as bad. Just know that as we can not be 100% accurate, moderators can not also be 100% accurate. Also the way they deal with reports can be slightly different sometimes.

I see. Thank you for the insights. I still went ahead and reported the threads.
