   Suggestion: could a moderator scan the posts on the Topical Forums and remove the spam casino/gambling posts? There are too many to report, but someone could sort it out in a few minutes a day.

      Fully agree, I'm getting a little bored with reporting these posts and have suggested that posters be banned.

      I really don't know that much about spam. How does spam harm HP? I mean, is spam like a pimple on the skin, remove it and another one pops up, then another, but in the larger scheme of things there's no detrimental deep effect? Or does spam only occur on sites with poor immune systems? I guess it's all relative. Sites with time and money to spare can get it sorted but sites like HP with limited resources can never be rid of it? I wonder how Google measures spam? The older the spam the more extreme Google's response?
      
      And I didn't mention Monty Python's SPAM sketch once! Oh darn it....

      I am glad to see that they intend to do something about it now.

   I think HubPages is not used to sorting out such publsh posts, like the pass quality accessent articles?                                       Again, methink many other writers here have reported such publications, but to no avail.

   I stopped going to the topical forum long ago because of all the abusive rubbish. I felt like I needed a shower after each visit.
   
   I feel the same way about the spammers peddling the best digital marketing courses in India on this forum. Stop them please.
