HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 3, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Adam, Have you noticed some SPAM posts recently? Anyway to block those? Mary Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 4, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Mary Beth I have just recently. I have reported the most recent to the moderators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 4, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 If you look in the lower right hand corner of the post, you will see Report. Edit. Multiquote and quote. If you click on report, which is a lighter color font than the last two, a box will come up for you to type that you feel that post is spam. When you submit. It will be seen by a moderator who will take corrective action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 4, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Looks like they are still having issues. I know I have seen 3 or 4 in the last week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Matt Posted July 18, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 More SPAM recently. And don't start me on the fake profiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 18, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Matt I know, I have reported each one over the last few weeks. I haven't received a response from a moderator but the form says they see each report. They might want to revisit the platform they are using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 18, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I would gladly delete them but I don't have that ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hunn Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 No good just deleting the post their IP address needs blocking Or it will just get out of hand. And for fake profiles they need to be removed if they have not posted after a while or not visited the site Just a few suggestions as have been an admin/ moderator on numerous forums :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 19, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 They are in the process of deleting the fake profiles. Big task. Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 19, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I sure hope MedEl has someone address all the Spam and false user IDs soon because now the list of recent threads is almost all spam. As the recent thread list is what I check to see what's new, it is frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 19, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Marybeth, I agree 100%. It is quite frustrating. I know the moderators check hearpeers daily. I have also reported all the spam I have seen. I am sure they Re working on a solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Sandy Posted July 20, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 How can you tell it's fake profiles? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 20, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 They seem to be saying the same thing, like "great information, thanks" but then right below, they add a website they want you to visit. Then they do not respond again. Never say anything about hearing loss or CI's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christa Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I had no idea people would do something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted July 20, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Happens quite often Christa. Medel is aware of the situation as they receive notice when one of these spammers posts. They are currently working to prevent any more. Sadly, these people are persistent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
