Report/ignore spam & don't click on suspicious links

[Tweety]

If you see a post that includes spam, please report it by clicking on the "Report Post" button on the top right (which looks like a street sign). The Forum moderators will check the post, eventually delete it and ban the respective user.

Do not reply to any spam posts, just ignore them.

Generally please use caution when opening up a thread or private message that does not mention MJ and has weird looking links. Do NOT click on any such links because otherwise your computer might get infected with a virus or similar dangerous stuff.

i know this sound stupid but how will i know whats spam?

[Tweety]

Hints that a post is spam are as follows:
1. The post isn't about MJ.
2. The post includes info on pharmaceutical products, insurances, cars, sexual content,...
3. The post content doesn't really make sense (but just aims to make you curious and click on a link).
4. The user who posted the message has only 1 or few posts.
5. Users posting spam often come from certain countries (this is not meant as an offense to fans coming from these countries, please): Russia, African states

Generally, if you have the slightest idea that something MIGHT be spam, don't click on any links. No message can be imnportant enough to ruin your computer.
