What is the difference between regular spam and as noted at the bottom of this message (genealogy spam)? Is there a difference? In case this would hit one of my boards I was wondering whether to delete it or not. Valeria- You do not have to be the board admin to click the REPORT ABUSE link and report the spam--spam is spam is spam--genealogy or otherwise. When you report abuse be sure to put in the comments box: ATTN STAFF: posted on multiple boards. That way the BOARD admin shold realize they need to leave this one for staff to handle and remove from all boards where the post is not appropriate. Joan

Thanks again Joan... I wasn't sure how that worked and I had never seen someone post something and actually include in their message it was spam...
