Why is gransnet so often afflicted by these? I count eight today. Mumsnet don't appear to have this problem.

Bluebelle and Willow3 👍

I reported someone recently but other posters admonished me and carried on thanking her for her link, until one other poster realised what was going on!

Pick a proper post add the words ‘bumpity bump’

Hopefully this will push the spam posts down to the bottom of the page, don’t write ‘reported’ because it keeps it at the top of he active list.

How easy are the ‘death spells’ ? Asking for a friend 🤗

I’m off to see if the bumpity bump thing works.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I always say reported, to alert others that it has been done. If someone has reported it, then I say nothing.

people writing `reported` are undoing the good work by bumpers and are keeping these scam threads up

I have reported as many as I could this morning angry just not commented on them.

I reported a few but didn't bother with those where people had already reported.

I’ll come back later when GNHQ has bothered to delete these and blocked their source.
Given that they can be spotted without reading beyond the second word there must be a better system for protecting the site.

Today is ridiculous!
The whole site is ruined this morning.
Why would they want to advertise abortion pills on a grandparents site?
It’s sabotaging our site.

They are continually present now, practically taking over, so bizarre in their content as well. Just wondering how difficult they are to get rid of.

I have posted in Site Stuff, asking KellyMumsnet if GN can do anything about it.
MN doesnt have the same problem, so maybe it is solvable here too.
