Forum follies...

Tried the forum, but it didn't work - can't reply, all in all a pretty
lousy set up - kinda leaves a warm feeling in this "reporters"
tummy..and, no, if I have to go
through another FAQ with no answers, I'll start smoking again...

question:
and BTW if this question is below most at the forum, maybe you shouldn't
offer it as a venue...
*/
While reporting, am getting the "you have unreported spam" message and
wants to know if I want to report now - I do so and get whole parse but
then at the end it says this has already been reported.
I have no cancel button which I have seen mentioned around various help
areas, so I can't cancel it
Now, I can be in a hurry and using 3 diferent input screens at once and
sometimes may dupe a post but not as often as this msg.
So, someone else has reported this spam before me - yes?
And we have no way of knowing this, right?
Isn't this kind of
-stupid?
-waste of bandwidth?
-in need of a fix?

tnx...

You have an account, your submitted/reported spam is yours ... Yes, you
and I could receive and submit the same spam, but neither one of us
would know this.
/brilliant/...
 From the sounds of it, you do need to slow down and look at things a
bit closer.

WTF doe that mean, Wazo?
I'll slow down and see what - that someone else has already reported the
same spam?  And I observe that how?


I got another response from Steve U. of a more thoughtful nature, but
equally unenlightening:
*/
If you have a window open with the "you have unreported spam" and
another open after following the link in the email reply, the situation
you describe can occur. Usually you would either follow the email links
OR keep following the unreported spam link until they are all gone.

/they don't go gone they list out and state IF I had reported, blahblah,
then that site had already been reported, such and such, then give me a
new input box, no indication of anything further on previous subject, no
cancel choice, nada/

If you submit the same message more than once, you will get a different
tracking URL and be able to report multiple times...That would be
against the rules, however.

/Well, thats good to know./

I'm beginning to see why the NANAE groups froth...
