I don’t know how the system works but I reported some spam posts earlier this week on both Mumsnet and Gransnet. The Mumsnet ones were immediately disappeared but the Gransnet ones were not.

In both cases I was sent an email to confirm they were looking into it!

I don't think GN has any of its own staff or moderators now, as it used to years ago.
Probably someone pops over from Mumsnet occasionally.

However, I do realise how difficult it is to block determined spammers.

I worry about the security on this site sometimes...

How would you suggest ‘the techies’ deal with it nanna8 as you seem to think it’s easy?

This forum does seem to be attracting masses of these things.

I am just amazed that these spammers think that grandparents are interested in their drugs 🤷‍♀️

Have oldies got a reputation for being stoned?

More disgusting boring spam. Can’t the techies deal with repeat messages? It ain’t rocket science.
