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

They haven't researched the demographics of their audience. I don't suppose they will get many sales. 😂

The content is certainly bizarre.

I was thinking that it might be worth opening thr forums and bumping the thread below them. Just to get rid of them from the 'Active' list.

I have no idea, but I do wish people would not bother to post 'reported', this only keeps them on the active board, I have reported without needing to say that I have done so.

Point taken nana, I won't bother in future smile

This is ridiculous. They need to get a handle on this as GN is becoming unreadable - abortion pills in the ME now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That’s me knackered then, I’ve just reported and reported myself reporting them. Hey-ho…🙄

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

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

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