Do Admins have the administrive power to delete spam posts/

Please, can one or more Admins regularly monitor these forums and delete any spam posts. They spoil appearance of the forums and irritate members, who have bothered to ask questions, and post replies to questions.

Lorraine, I fully agree. 'Clickbait' may result in your PC/Laptop/Phone being infected with a virus.

Hi Adrian,

Completely agree and we're trying to sort with a temporary fix until the much-needed new site arrives and provides us all with a bit more flexibility.

I've emailed W&A about it, Adrian. Where there's been an answer, it's possible to flag that up; but I've asked if it's possible to have a flag button for the posts themselves, so that we can make admin aware more easily.

No matter how innocent they seem, these are clickbait, and people should never click on any links included in them.
