The spam complaint was not about the link that @MM1 posted but one that followed, was definitely spam, and has now disappeared due to members like @Marie20 who raised the alarm.
I think taking action with flagging as spam is better and certainly more timely. Our admins are all volunteers and have limited time for this responsibility. Besides, upon review of your flag, they can disagree and reverse the action. I don’t like the spammers to get one additional minute of exposure from our forum than they’ve already taken.
Update: I GOT THE FREESTYLE LIBRE!! YAY!!!
Put it on today and so I am hoping this will help in ways I couldn’t imagine- thank you all for your love and support. I already feel better now having this.
Either option works. Help in moderating the forum is greatly appreciated. If I had to choose a preferred way, I would say that flagging a post is the easiest and gets the quickest action. When a post is flagged, a notice is sent to all admin members plus staff members.
If you prefer to send a private message, thats OK too. We will gladly take the help in any form.
