Yikes! I see spammer aamwaj invaded our Native Plants Forum yesterday afternoon. I've reported it via the Contact Us link found in the green banner at the bottom of any/every GW page.

Here is a link that might be useful: Mailing Garden Web and reporting spammers

I reported the many spam postings last night.

Thanks Carol. I imagine they will get them gone here soon.

I know a lot of members aren't aware of how to report spam or contact GW with questions or concerns.

I reported yesterday too. Used the "Contact Us" link.

Edited to add: just noticed those dumb spam posts are gone! Yay, good job GW!

I reported it as well right after it happened. It sometimes takes a day or two. I think they target forums like this because they aren't very active in the winter. The goal is to get their stupid website posted on a relevant site to increase their search engine visibility. It's good that people weren't responding since that's what they want.
