Please will everyone get in touch with GN so they don't just delete these rubbish posts but delete the titles. On the health forum there are 58 of such posts all deleted but they left the titles which pushed all health topics onto a second page. I have bumped up many real topics but getting fed up having to do it.

Many of you have reported these posts but you must feel the same as me fed up why don't they delete the titles and surely they can put a programme in place that alerts them to such rubbish posts .

Another three just popped up, I reported them straight away and they were deleted, titles too, immediately. Well done GN. Perhaps they’ve worked out how to do it!

I reported an advert that appeared on the health forum in the early hours. Via GN report system . Just had an email from the company I reported. Have asked GNHQ who has access to our email addresses?

Thai is very unsettling, Whiff.

Oh dear oh dear.

Did the email appear as spam to you, or in your junk box?
Not that that is the most important question here at all.

Maybe it is some box or other you have or have not ticked?
Though I wouldnt have thought that would make a difference.

I will have a look sometime which email address I am using for GN. And maybe switch it to another one.

Some of the adverts we see on GN are companies that we have been browsing on previously and are specifically target at us.
I keep getting ones from Monday and Pelle, where I do shop.
I really should delete my cache ( browsing history.)

Whiff, did you by any chance check this company out, before reporting?

Seems quiet today so far.

Thanks HQ!

Dr mudi is persistent .......... popped up on the Clarkson thread now shock

I did let Dr Mundi know that I didn't want my ex husband back, thanks all the same. He needs to listen to his customers.

Whiff Sat 04-May-24 09:40:32

I never check out companies before reporting them . If I don't know who is emailing , texting or phoning I deleted it. To many scammers out there .

fancythat Sat 04-May-24 10:36:22

I presume you have not heard back from GNHQ yet?

Whiff Thu 09-May-24 08:46:06

Please just report these posts via the report button on desktop view. Don't post reported on the thread as it encourages them to add more of these nonsense threads .

I think I might have to go until they sort this out. It is boring, rude and intrusive.

I am a bit of the same mind.

A lot of them seem to appear overnight. Perhaps you could be seconded onto the management team to monitor and delete whilst we are all asleep😂
This is presuming that you have nothing better to do! We would be grateful.

merlotgran Thu 09-May-24 08:58:01

Just hide them. They’re not annoying if you can’t see them.

I have reported some continuous posts on the "humour" thread this morning!OOPS,maybe I shouldn't say so!??😟

Delia22 Thu 09-May-24 10:33:43

GN HQ will take a look they say.

Would like advice from HQ as to what they prefer, am doing this atm. I'm presuming these attacks are from multiple IP's or they would have got rid some time ago.

Why isn't it possible for there to be an automatic filter that picks up key words like witch craft and spells and then automatically deletes them and bans the poster?

GrannyGravy13 Thu 09-May-24 11:43:31

I have just reported two new threads from the same poster, I didn’t post reported on them as this just keeps them active 😡

GrannyGravy13 Thu 09-May-24 11:44:53

As for the spells, I could do with one for DD’s ex, I have been using Phoenix’s curse for a while but I think he has become immune 🤣🤣🤣

Smileless2012 Thu 09-May-24 11:50:03

I've done that too GrannyGravy.

spottybook Thu 09-May-24 11:50:55

They need to target their audience though - grandparents and abortion pills just don’t go together.

I absolutely agree, surely there’s something that GNHQ can do - Mumsnet seems to have cracked it 😵‍💫

GNHQ say it is because this is an old site.

Well, as far as I know, it's not as old as Mumsnet.
