I have just recently. I have reported the most recent to the moderators

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.

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

I would gladly delete them but I don't have that ability.

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

They are in the process of deleting the fake profiles. Big task. Thanks for the advice

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.

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

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

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
