Please do not post replies to spammers - Weight Loss Message Board

Hi,

Please do not post replies to those you believe are
posting spam advertising on our message boards in
violation of the Posting Policy and Board Guidelines.

Your replies give more attention to the spammer by
bumping the topic up to the top of the board, and
you have created extra editing work for our
volunteer moderators.

When you suspect spamming, please email the moderator.
The links for their email addresses are at the
top left of every message board.

Please include the url link to the topic. Please also
include the spammer's username and the topic title
and the name of the message board where it is posted.

Thank you

Several of you posted replies to a spammer today.

This literally doubled the time, work and effort for
our volunteer to clean up the board.

Please email the moderator to report abuse.

Do not reply to it.

thank you!

Hi

When you see a new member on the board posting their
email address and asking you to write to them, it is
almost without exception a spammer looking to send
you some advertising about their product.

As per the Board Guidelines, contact information
is never allowed to be posted here.

Please do not email these spammers, and
please do not post a reply to them.

Your replies to them on the message boards
create extra work for our volunteer moderators.

Notify the moderator, by email, as soon as possible.

Thank you!
