sorry guys but i had to report the spammer...

You did the best.I did it before and I'll do it again if I find anyone spamming.Just yesterday I report a person, he post an answer to a discussion and after one day start exactly same topic asking same question that he answer before one day.Don't feel bad,mylot didn't need members like this.

Yes it's fair. They don't deserve the credit. I think it should be considered cheating. I think I might have reported the same guy just a little bit ago. He left the same comment on two of my discussions then I saw it on someone else's. "I don't know.....Please don't mind" What kind of response is that. I don't care if he was trying to make money or if he was trying to make as many replies as he could it's not fair to us who work hard for all of that. You did the right thing.

Good for you, I hate spamming anywhere, not just here. We work very hard and put in the time and effort to write intelligent and interesting responses and discussions, it's not fair that someone can just spam like that.

I hope that it's the same one that I have reported this morning. This person has been in 4 discussions that I have been in this morning and has left in all 4 the same response and in 3 of those 4 he/she has done it twice. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. :) It irks me also.

I would have done the same thing!! It isn't fair that we are really working hard at discussions and others just jump in with randon things! Don't feel bad at all!!

Oh course you have to report spammers! I report them too. Why, someone defaced one of my threads earlier and I was asking people to help report him. His post was deleted in the end.. though 1 out of 2 was missed. :P Do I happen to be that "lucky" friend of yours?

i think i know who you are talking about. i just forgot his username. but i have encountered him just minutes ago posting the same response to so many discussions. i was surprised that whenever i post my response, i only get right next to his senseless repeated response! at first, i spared his nonesense response. did not even rate it since i thought he might just be a newbie. but later on, i got annoyed already. his response is all over the new discussions! gosh! upon getting annoyed, i rated him with a negative. and still, he keeps on doing it! and yep yanjiaren, you just did the right thing. spamming is so unreasonable. too many lazy people around ruinning mylot. i hope he gets a warning from the moderators soon.

why are you apologising, rather id appluad you, a community that is free and open like mylot needs to have people like you who are proactive and willing to take action against anti social and disruptive peopl like spammers.

I think you did exactly the right thing, you should always report this kind of activity, i certainly do blessed be good luck and keep on posting

I'm with you my friend and I don't like the idea of having spammers on here. But I suppose its just the way of things. If somethings going well theres always someone to upset the applecart.

I reported someone today. They said 'em i dont know......please dont mind... ' in response to one of my questions. i saw someone mention that someone was doing that to all the discussions earlier so I thought I would report them as its unfair if they get money for such rubbish.

If it's the "I don't know...Please don't mind" spammer then good for you! I reported them earlier today but they're still at it. I hope they get dealt with soon. It's so obnoxious.

I've reported spammers as well. I found one member who had posted exactly the same response, word for word, multiple times. Each time, it was an entirely inappropriate response to the question at hand. Clearly, they were just posting the same response without actually reading what the question was. I think it's entirely fair to report spam! I've noticed that there are so many new discussions each and every single day, it would be impossible for the powers that be to read every discussion and assess the validity of the responses. You just can't do that with thousands of discussions! You'd do your head in trying! I guess that's also part of why we have the rating system. But reporting spam is a very important part of this board, and entirely appropriate! Good on you for reporting them!

I also agree to what everyone has been saying. I have only been mylotting for a couple days and reported a couple people already who posted completely nonsensical answers to discussions. Bad grammar or an offensive tone is not always the reason to ban someone, we have our right to speech. But really - this site is not about making money, unless you want to spend all day typing in which case you might as well write for more profitable online ventures. We are here - I hope - to have a great online discussion forum that as a little bonus earns us a $10 check once every few months. There is no point saying something if you have nothing to say.

Nothing to sorry about yanji, it is absolutely the right thing to do. They should know better than to spam! Rules are meant to be followed and if someone breaks them, they need to be reported. Good job!

I'm glad you got the spammer. Why give a cheater money when we are working very hard to earn money on here? I have to say thank you.

I don't blame you. We have to keep this forum running properly and keep Mylot going and satisfied with our input here. We cannot take the chance of losing earnings by people spamming our discussions. Mylot notices all of these things and it does affect our earnings and our ratings here. I'm glad to see that people are stepping upo to make sure Mylot is pleased and to hopefully get rid of spammers. I like it here and I like the discussions. I delete alot of nonsense discussions daily. I don't even reply to it because Mylto will eventually delete it anyway. Good luck in helping us try to keep the forum clean and existing for a very long time.

You are taking things WAY too seriously. If what the person did was out of some kind of malicious intent then sure, report them. But if the comment was in anyway related to the question in the topic than what's the problem.

Good for you to do that. I guess it was that good for nothing bum who also posted senseless things on my discussions...saying I don't know, don't mind.

Hi? how are you .i am a fresh man .my English very poor.
