An idea for the forum regarding disclosure

<< < (4/4)

Carol Haynes:
Not sure whether replacing the name of the item with a graphic would be helpful for two reasons:


* if you want to check the legitimacy of a product it would be useful if it came up as a spam problem on the forum search
* if it is a spam problem there is no problem with search engines find the statement "XYZ spams" and broadcasting it to the world.

I thought so too Carol: more often than not when there is a discussion about these posts someone has googled the post and found very similar on other forums.

Therefore, I would have thought it would have been handy to have "DonationCoder has identified this post as spam" type message coming up in other Google searches? Which would effectively label the message, product, company when searched for: which is a good thing isn't it?
