Help Us Keep Our Community Spam-Free

Sharon Mod

Hi everyone

We're looking into why there's been a surge in spam posts recently and will update you when we have answers. In the meantime, we need your help. If you come across a post that looks like spam or violates our guidelines, please report it.

  1. Click ‘More’ under the post.
  2. Select ‘Flag to Moderator’.

Just 2 user reports will automatically remove the post from the forum. Your quick action helps keep spammers out.

Thanks for being an essential part of the Online Community.

  • Hi everyone, 

    Thank you for all your help with the surge in spam posts recently. 

    We have taken action to keep the online community safe, now all new accounts will be briefly moderated before they can post. This means that when someone joins, their first few posts may be held for review while our moderators check that they’re not bots or spam accounts. Once verified, they’ll be able to post freely just like everyone else. 

    Once again thanks for all your help and being an essential part of the online community. 

    If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to email us at CommunityManager@nas.org.uk.

    Maybe I've got some kind of inbuilt spam filter, because apart from the obvious spam about finanical services I've not seen any. I do notice that at weekends there tends to be a rash of posts from new member's I've never heard of before, I know the weekend is a convienent time for many people to join somewhere like this and I've suspected some are spam or fake accounts, but I don't know. 

    What is all this spam, apart from the obvious financial stuff?
