I am trying to click on the spam to "ignore" but it's not working - anyone else having this issue?

Folks, we are doing our best and implementing new features as fast as possible to help. Please do NOT bump threads with spam, it does not help. It makes it worse.

The best thing you can do is press the new "report spam" button that now shows up next to "report concern" it notifies us quickly and also serves as a way for our system to notice that something isn't right with those posts. Coupled with other features we have implemented, it helps the automated part of our system remove spam more quickly. Do not like the post, do not write "reported", do not interact with it in any way other than hitting that 'report spam' button.

Interacting with the post in the other ways actually makes it seem more legitimate to our forum software, and makes it less likely it will be auto detected.

Additionally if something seems off, please report it. We don't always see threads on the forum, especially right now as I am dealing with massive volumes of spam.

It looks like a few normal features might have been broken as we experiment with new ways to stop spam, so if a feature stops working, please send us a note directly. We will do our best to fix things as soon as we know they are problems for users.
