    This post contain the link to a web site that has terribly bad advice, and which has been mercifully excised by insightful hosts in the past, whenever it has been posted in the Photoshop Macintosh forum.

    It's wrong-headed advice that will cause unending grief by messing up the workflow of whoever follows it. 

    Wish there were negative points for things like this.

    Yes, I reported it through the Report Abuse button too, clarifying it's not abuse as such but it has detrimental effects.

    Also reported using the "Report Abuse" function.

    I gather that this thread is no longer closely watched by mods/hosts?

    The first screenshot in my previous message #190 shows two topics with the same name opened at about the same time by the same person. In a quick look, I didn't notice any difference between both OPs. In the old days, we would call this a "duplicate thread/topic".

    I'm sure I must have reported this post in due time, but have no way to check, and the message is still there, with its links to commercial sites:

    If i'm not mistaken, you can only report a post once after which the report button changes to "already reported" or something like that

    Ah, but DK said that if enough people report a post it's automatically deleted. She doesn't know how many.

    John, this thread has the advantage that we report the poster, not the post, thus making it easier to clean up. And the advantage that (older) natives have no need to use what they may not see, especially if they have got rid of all the new uglies.

    Thank you, Dorothy.

    you can add links/text to your abuse report. I don't see the point in removing the Report Abuse button, the icon maybe but not the whole button

    I don't see the point in removing the Report Abuse button, the icon maybe but not the whole button

    Furthermore the old spam-or-inappropriate-posts thread was actually only known to a few regulars.

    The new button is there for all to see.

    Much better.

    Should this thread not be made floating? Until now it has been sinking, difficult to find.

    April 13, 2009

    Why do we even need it if we have the Report Abuse button and a nice text field to write in?

    April 13, 2009

    We'll get a link to it in a sidebar box at least.

    That abuse button is bs. We used to be able to post something here and it was cleaned up in hours, if no minutes. I reported those spams a week ago and nothing is done. And I do not intend to go through 14 spams and press the abuse button and fill in a form on each.
