Hey,

Just thought the admins might like the heads up, but some dude has started posting (10times so far) adverts for a Dome Telecom promoting (with O2 I think) 1Cal in the Bargain Alerts forum. Iv reported the posts, but he/she seems to just keep posting and spamming the forums so I thought posting here might grab the attention of someone to nip it in the bud so it doesn't give the mods of the forum a headache when they get online!

Disappointing to see a company spamming the boards. I cant see who else would bother promoting their company.

I assumed mentioning the Bargain Alerts forum would be enough, sorry.

Hi Sully, usually mentioning the forum would be enough, but I took a look at Bargain Alerts when you posted this, and all it seems to be is threads about cheap calls

Also, we can completely delete a thread, so if Ruu had already gotten there, the thread is gone. If you link to the thread/user, then we can see straight away if it's been dealt with

Hey Seamus,

I see what your saying, I only mentioned the forum name as it was the majority of the threads on the front page that had been spammed.

Iv linked tho to each of the posts I found. I thought reporting here might help and prevent headaches for the mods coming back to a load of work, and I didnt want to report each spam post. :P

With all the spamming iv seen on forums, this is the first Irish (registered busienss) that I have seen been spammed around the place
