Is there no way to STOP these threads regarding selling drugs ? That is not what this forum is supposed to be about !!

The whole of the "60,000 dollar question" thread needs to be removed. That seems to be where it is all centered and I am sure it should be possible to delete that entire thread.

I contacted Vintage Braces about making the group settings for member only posts. However it seems that the guy who set this group up (Harry) left and VB do not have the Admin password and Harry is no longer visiting the site, therefore there does not appear to be a lot that can be done about this.

Another way of dealing with it is to go to ProBoards support direct and ask them to deal with it, I am not sure about putting our heads above the parapet is the best idea on this, and it would not stop it happening agai , they would just delete the spam posts.

It could be that Vintage Braces could log a call / support ticket with ProBoards to get the email address on the admin account changed to another one. (Depending if the support Terms of Service with ProBoards allow will this.) However I have done a quick look around i can see that Harry stopped posting around April / March 2017, But last logged in May 2019. So I wonder if he logged in randomly one day. A option could be that a message can be sent to Harry's (admin) account asking for the login details to be sent to VB and then they can change the email and password.
This method has worked for me in the past with my line of work. (Sadly seen this situation too many time before. )

I did send Harry a message over a year ago but nothing happened. His log in in May last year was after I contacted VB.

Ahh, At least someone has tried sending a message to the account.
Looking like a support call / ticket with ProBoards might be needed.
As you said castmenow, I don't think we should be the ones putting our heads over the parapet. But i would be happy to help if time & opportunity arises.

I have also sent an email to VB re this. Havent heard back yet but perhaps if enough of us are in touch it might get something moving.
