I figure you know this, but for the benefit of others who may wish to report something... if you're logged in there's a little triangle with an exclamation mark to the left of the "quote" button, and that's what it's for - it alerts the moderator to spam and the likes.Originally Posted by Beachlover
Not meaning to be nosy, Beachlover - and I wouldn't ask for the names of them or your handles there, naturally - how many Thailand forums do you read and/or participate in, anyway? Just curious. I rarely have time to check in on more than a couple a day, myself.
Bao Bao... if you stick an excerpt from the OP into Google you'll see the exact same message and spam link shows up on Lonely Planet, Thailandqa, Thaivisa and Tripadvisor. It's just spam. Should be removed.
SGT has pretty high search engine strength so we shouldn't be letting spammers benefit from having a link from here back to their site (when Google sees this link, they rank the spammer's site higher in search results).
Yes, I know - but thanks for explaining it for those who may not be as actively involved online as others.
Nevertheless, the moderator(s) are also alerted by using the icon, too - I figured that might be quicker for folks. :cheers:

Beachy,
You are amazing really!, keeping a high powered business at the cutting edge, explaining on a daily basis to us ' Philistines ' where we are going wrong understanding Asian culture, workouts in the Gym, visiting nearly every place in Asia (twice) and you still find time to post on all these boards.........................A true Hero in keeping us updated!..........I'm gonna open a fan club!...... :notworthy:
just kidding Beachy..... :laughing3:
I did use the the (!) icon and submitted the exact same message there. Only I wasn't sure if that gets noticed (thanks for confirming, jinks) so I thought I'd post a reply too. The mod had already done a round of edits at the time and thought he might've missed this one...
Kquill... I want a cut of the membership fees. :rolling:
