Annoyed with the spammers in this Team.

[Graciosa]

WHY do some people keep on posting listings and promotions on this team's threads??????
That is soooo unrespectful!!! This Team's rules are pretty clear!

It is so annoying!!! I get tired of reporting over and over again! :(

The "Official Celebration Thread", for example, is all ruined, full of spam!!! :(
Aaaarghhhh!!!!

Dear Team Captain and Admins. , I suggest people who post listings and spam here get removed from the team at once. I truly believe they do it on purpose, and don't deserve a second chance.

Rant over... Thank you!!

I'm also one of the people who reports the post and I feel annoyed when I check back later in the day and the post is still there :/

I agree! The posts for Viagra and ED pushed me over the edge. Enough is TOO MUCH!

[NataBurgos]

Hell yeah I saw those posts too!
This team is supposed to be for other stuff. But so much promotion is over he edge really.

[fishcouple]

Agree!!!

A little reminder as some sellers continue spamming. Especially new members of the team.

Dumping your work wherever you can find is NOT an attractive way to promote your business. You get negative attention.

Please choose other threads / teams so your work is seen more.

Thankfully those threads are pulled down pretty quickly when reported.

But does get annoying to report them because people dont read the rules. :-(

[mirrymirry]

I find it disrespectful too :/

[RusticHandmadeMS]

I agree with all of you! Remove them from the team

[Former_Member]

I agree also! I did not report anyone, I was just hoping, that nobody clicks on those listings and gives them exposure.
I love this team with no self-promotion. There are enough threads where one can like something from another shop and then gets exposure from the person following their last post.

Agree!

I don't hesitate to report spam. I hate it when people add their own spam to the spam thread!

Bumping this for those who haven't seen it yet.

Rules of the Team:

DON’T:
• Discuss the details of a transaction or specific member without their permission.
• Share social medial links, Treasuries, new item listings and calls for entries or submissions in the Etsy Success Forum, unless you’re sharing or asking for small business advice.

It might also be a good idea to start threads as Private. Public ones are for everyone to see outside of Etsy too.

This^^^^

I think it might be wise though to start threads for advice as for instances, like, "What to do when a package is lost. . . post tips here," or, "What happens when a customer isn't responsive," etc. I know people do come to this team with the best intention to get advice in these situations, even though it is against rules. So I think if threads are started with just a general question without a transaction tied to it, I think that will help people out a lot (and hopefully cut down on spammers).

It doesn't really make anyone want to support the shop, they're just harming themselves! It's such a waste of time epppp :/
