World Community Grid - View Thread - Spam and Other Questionable Posts

This FAQ has been moved to http://wcg.wikia.com/wiki/Spam_and_forum_abuse

They appear occasionally and when seen best practice would be:

To not respond to the post(s), however tempting, helping them to sink quickly out of sight.
Use the little Red icon right bottom of the questionable post to bring it to the attention of the moderators.

Generally, Community Advisors (CA's) will see them (fairly) quickly and post a note in the back-room thread titled "Items to be Sanitized or Removed". When the WCG staff gets in or checks in remotely during e.g. the weekend, they will be taken care off, post haste.

If deemed of serious nature, CA's will send emails to the administrator for swiftest eradication.
