SPAM
24 Jun 2011 Hayley said
Has anyone else noticed the huge amount of spam now on the website? The old one never had this much!
Normally it's easy to ignore but when newer threads are being bumped because "explorer123456" wants to advertise cheap handbags in a thread from 4 years ago, it's a little frustrating. Not to mention our "inboxes" are flooded with spam and the comments in the Contikipedia are completely irrelevant.
Hope something can be done about this!

I got the same one this morning Ky! It’s so annoying!
I don’t think since these new forums came into effect that I’ve gotten a legit personal message from someone! There’s even spam in the tour thread I started for my departure July 30th. Yeesh…- 0 people like this

Hey guys flag the posts as inappropriate becuase that’s what I’ve been doing. I noticed they were removed from a thread after I flagged them. The handbag one is still floating around and there is a wedding dress one as well. Those that put up irrelevant posts should be banned from the community.
