In those sections where I have moderator rights, I delete the post, normally without comment.
Unfortunately my moderator rights are somewhat limited.
My own opinion is that all posts emanating from India, Pakistan, the Philipines and especially China should be banned completely, as should all signature links that are irrelevant to living in Spain.

I’m sorry if you also considerated my inputs as spam, I only wanted to help people in troubles coming/paying their taxes/getting their residence, etc. in Spain.
If it’s this way, say to me and I’ll edit my posts…
I really do not think that your posts have ever been considered as spam posts.
Sus comentarios no se considera SPAM.
Please feel free to continue posting as you do now!
Our battle is against worthless irrelevant posts advertising such things as ‘nike this’ and ‘nike that’, ‘gucci this’ and ‘gucci that’, emanating from companies normally based in Nigeria, China, India or Pakistan who swamp this and other forums with junk posts that are mainly blatant cut and paste news items interspaced with advertising plugs for such junk as ‘NFL Jerseys and Shirts’. Then there are the serious Scams such as all manner of Ipods, Ipads, and all manner of assorted mobile phones or Forex scams offering huge paybacks for every 1000 Euros invested….
Professional relevant advice is always welcome and there is no harm in a signature link such as yours or public appeals for help for charities such as that in my signature link.
So don’t change a thing… if you have a comment to make or advice to give please feel free to make it!
Sorry if anyone missunderstood my post. I mean the Nike, Ipad etc adverts. I myself advertise the occasional property for sale or rent that I think is a bargain!!

Cazzy, I’m new and I took it personally because I had made some mentions about my job and I wanted to agologize in that case. Now I understand you!

I have had a look at your signature web. I have to congrat you for this action. I LOVE dogs, nowadays I have 9 (most of them were abandoned) but never had a Galgo or Podenco, maybe one day 😊

Here’s the thing - We’re not able to be online 24 hours per day. Most of the Chinese/Asian spam hit the site at about 3am Spanish time. By the time any of us get to it it’s been there for a few hours. Sometimes it takes us longer if no one clicks the Report button on a post too. We’re getting about 20-50 new replies daily, so that’s a lot to comb through every day!
If you’re interested in helping out or want to donate to the SpainExpat ca?a fund… feel free to pitch in. 😉
I am quite happy to help out moderating as I am online quite a lot!!!

Hi Cazzy,
Okay, I’ll set you up as a moderator for some of the main forums around here. If you find you’re not a moderator in some of the forums, just use the Report feature to send us a report of the offending post.
