Tapatalk for VU is a 3rd party app which we have no control over, the only control we have is to leave the app. But those pop ups get deleted as soon as we see them.I've been seeing a lot of em pop up on the forums lately too. Not in my email but through notifications on Tapatalk for VU

Whiskey, the ED and Weight Loss are coming up under the thread. I don't mind emails from VU, but this is spam, and when I go to the thread it isn't there, it's gone, otherwise I would report it.Go into your settings here and un-click the email notifications to stop getting them from a thread here, the other 2 (ED and weight-loss) are not from our forum and I have no idea what those are about.

I don't know if I get em in my actual email but they show up in my alerts. I usually just ignore em or mark emWhiskey, the ED and Weight Loss are coming up under the thread.

I was going to report it from the thread, but it was gone, made me wonder if it really came from the thread, or a hack, since the member and post were not there. This just showed up this morning.We can not help those spammers joining but once found which is is in minutes of them posting we delete the thread, and ban their IP. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Especially in the early hours it is kind of like playing "Whack A Mole" with the damn spammers!
Which is why we really appreciate the members hitting the good old report post button!
Well, y'all know I've been around here for a minute now, and I'm not afraid to report someone for not following our rules, which are few.Especially in the early hours it is kind of like playing "Whack A Mole" with the damn spammers!

The ones I have got, come up in th "Stop Smoking Thread" I have never replied to one, nor have I ever posted in a Spam Thread.The stupid spam posts aren't always a thread of their own. Sometimes, they land in threads that already exist, so that would be a reason that it shows up in your alerts. You're either participating in that thread already, selected "watch thread", or you've subscribed to a particular section of the forum. I'm subscribed to "Unlisted Vendors" area, so anytime a new thread is posted, or moved there, I get an alert, whether it's legit, or spam.
