This is clearly “spam”.
Why don’t you file a “formal complaint” so that it can be removed?

Frank, as a moderator, you can simply go to the post and check the box in the upper right hand corner of the post and “unapprove it” at the bottom right of the page. :slight_smile:

Thanks!
I always wait for a “formal complaint” so I am not accused of being “heavy handed”.:wink:

PS: in this case…… I had filed a “formal complaint” as soon as I saw Steve’s post.

I was always under the impression that this MB thread section WAS the appropriate way to report a post! If not, then what is it’s purpose?

What are you referring to Frank? Got a link to whatever you are referring to?

Hi!
I’m sorry for the confusion. You are correct….This section is the way to file a “formal complaint”. That being said….As a Moderator for this message board I ALWAYS receive an email from the complaining party that alerts me and I consider it a “formal complaint”. In this case {this particular complaint} I have yet to receive” an alert” but I took action on it anyway.

Here is an example of the types of emails/alerts that I receive;

This is part of this thread: Things you never knew about roof leaks http://www.nachi.org/forum/f77/things-you-never-knew-roof-leaks-83926/
This is the reason that the user gave: A whole SPAM thread.
A discussion thread has been created at http://www.nachi.org/forum/f72/reported-post-sstanczyk-89211/
This message has been sent to all moderators of this forum, or all administrators if there are no moderators.
Please respond to this post as applicable.

After I receive this type of email I review the “reported post” to see if our members have a valid claim. If I decide that it is not valid I take no action.
If I decide that the “reported post” is in violation of the InterNachi message board rules/regulations I then process the claim.

With all the bickering, fighting, and personal attacks on this message board I try to stay out of the equation. Now and again something is so reprehensible and damaging to InterNachi as an association that I cannot keep quiet and “I file my own complaint”.

In all the times that I have “processed a claim” Nick has only overturned/overruled my decision once and only once.
Once again, I apologize for the confusion.

Thanks Frank.

To me, what you posted above looks like it may be generated by the Nachi system itself, when a member utilizes the yellow “Report Post” Icon button next to the offending post.
