My search for a shed is being ruined by an advertiser local to me that just totally spams the ads with wanted messages at various "prices". Evidently PH doesn't give a stuff about the "rules" for ads as long as they get paid. Rubbish.

First 13 "Ads" are wanted spam.

Reported twice now, no action.

Alternatively - is there a search term I could use to exclude this spam?

- Why would any sane advertiser think that look for 0-2K cars to buy, I might just have a Ferrari I wanted to sell - what morons.

Thank you, some of those are actually in the "wanted" section, unfortunately if no model is selected in your search, by default, wanted ads are included. They seemed to disappear if I put -wanted (minus sign).

Give that a go thumbup
Illogical to include wanted, but thanks for the search term help.
