Being spammed

How do you report it - I noticed the ads and sent an email to GNHQ - is there a quick link to report these things?

It's the button after 'Add comment' Barrow.

Whoops - just noticed the "report" button

Thanks - shall now go and make an appointment with optician!

And the next one along says 'private message' Barrow!

It would be quicker for GNHQ to delete the poster completely.

They were probably caught unawares ... probably the staff party

I must be being very slow this weekend - haven't spotted any!

Right here goes.

Can someone tell what spamming means/is in an easy peasy way. I really do not know what it means.

Thanks

'Spam' is unwanted, unsolicited email.

And it can be risky to respond to it. Your service provider probably has a spam filter at work on your emails.

Thanks.

How do I know?. Is it purely the case it would show in my 'inbox'? Absolutely no other way.

I do worry when I get something like 'Norton has found bla bla bla'. I always press the x box and knock it off, should I always respond?

Am I right this happens when say I look at something a GN has put in blue type.

Greatful for input G.N.'s Not a computer genius obviously.

No, GN blue type is fine, POGS, it's either a link put in by another GNetter or GNHQ and is quite safe. I get those Norton messages - they're just to inform you, I just x them as well!

Your service provider will shunt all suspect emails (i.e. spam) straight into your 'junk' box. You don't need to do anything about that, it gets automatically deleted after so many days.

As always thank you.

You're welcome POGS

I should have added a proviso: occasionally a spam email will slip though the net and appear in your in-box, but they're usually easy to spot - a bank you have no account with, a firm you have never done business with etc. Just delete them.
