Is there a reason for NOT having a flagging option in the Groups? I've never flagged anyone before but I have just run across a post in one of my Groups that needs a good flagging in the worst way. Groups apparently don't have flags like the Main Forums do. Whyzat?

I've just assumed a flag is to get someone's attention who has the authority to do something .... or not. I don't even know what they would do other than delete the post and/or boot the offender from the group or, in this case, boot them off the site. It was an unadulterated spam post to maybe a dozen or more different groups from someone who had joined TN only a few minutes earlier. They must have been joining Groups and posting their message as fast as they could.
Edit: Just did a recount. It was 7 groups and 9 Forums. At least that's what's showing on the profile news feed.ReactReply - J.J.Oct 14, 2015
I think I know who you are talking about. Were they promoting a hookup website? I usually go right to their account and flag that. This particular spammer usually also hits the forums, where the individual posts can also be flagged.

Unfortunately, yes. The average time a new username lasts is less than a day, but this person can't take a hint.
