Topic: Spam Reviews

Hi, I’ve been on this site for a couple of years now but haven’t posted in the forums yet. Where can I report or stop getting spam reviews like this:
“ This book has a compelling story line and was actually hard to put down.
You can join to a writing competition this April on @novelstar.top or joye@novelstar.top”
I’ve never had any before, but got three of these in the last month. It’s so annoying when I get excited thinking someone has reviewed my work, but then it turns out to be this junk.
Thanks!

I've received quite a few of these as well. I think Sol is aware of it as my bogus reviews have already disappeared.

Thanks Dirk. Glad it’s not just me attracting spam!

I received a similar one last week.

I've received them too. I just ignored them, like I do spam elsewhere, except when I'm in the Monty Python group on FB. "Spam, spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam!"

Part of the reason premium members pay a subscription is to keep the site productive, with good writers and active reviewing, isn’t it? I think that’s worth a bit of policing to remove spammers if possible.

Let us know the members who are giving you those reviews and we'll remove them and their reviews. It's hard to police the entire site on our own.

Thanks,
Sol
