Thats simply part of newsgroups.

the idea behind removing spam is really to focus on Spam advertising which simply takes up space and clutters the forums, not to censor.

 


You're right rbenoit. I think the spam spam being referred to are those advertising products and what nots and sometimes there are even individuals who send directly to the emails of members.

Personally, while disliking spam I don't mind it as much on-site as I do when it shows up in a forum's email notifications or rss feed.

Some of it has been pretty over the top! Admin has responded - thanks job_seeker

At the top of the post there is a small link that says 'post options.'

If you click on it there is a report function. :)
