I am the GM for the Carnivores. A number of recruitment threads have been spammed by someone calling himself @alanvictor89 Not a member in the forum for long yet claims to be recruiting for In Virtue. Is he really the GM for In Virtue? > **[alanvictor89](http://community.gemsofwar.com/users/alanvictor89/activity)** ---

He just showed up in another one. Seems to keep showing up in various threads. ---

Callout threads are not allowed. If you have an issue with a specific user, you should PM the moderators directly. ---

You need to create a recruitment post for your guild. Not jump in on other threads ---

> [@Lyya](#): > > Callout threads are not allowed. If you have an issue with a specific user, you should PM the moderators directly. This is not what I consider a call-out thread. I am asking for confirmation that this person is who he claims and is in fact recruiting for in Virtue at #15 or #16 in the league. I was doubting this claim because he has no wordings after his name. Appreciate the heads-up. Would you please tell me how to PM one of the moderators so I may take direct action if this happens again. ---

Sure, you can either click on a name like @Sirrian or @Nimhain (the most active devs on the board) or you can follow their bios at: > **[Sirrian](http://community.gemsofwar.com/users/Sirrian)** > > boomCreative Lead on Gems of War. You might also know some of our older games like Puzzle Quest, and Warlords! > **[Nimhain](http://community.gemsofwar.com/users/Nimhain)** > > :tada: Head of the Gems of War Live OPs Team and use the “Message” links on those pages. However, I suggest you try to work it out with the individual involved first, as it might just be a misunderstanding or cultural difference. ---

Thanks for that info @Lyya. I see the guy has responded so will PM him and settle the matter amicably. Unfortunately for me I have extra work to do now recreating my recruitment thread to remove the ‘contamination’. ---

I confirm he is a minister of In virtue ! (not the GM) Alanvictor is the official recruiter of In Virtue. BR Zann0t In virtue minister ---

Thanks @zann0t for the confirmation. I have sent a PM to @alanvictor89 now that I have confirmation. I have made, and still make, mistakes so it wouldn’t be fair to hurl a lot of rocks at the guy. Thanks also to @Lyya . We now have a useful thread for those who have this problem in future. The matter is now closed. Thanks all. ---

Speaking of recruitment threads and spam, is there a way to show all categories EXCEPT that one? I’m in a guild and don’t want to see the nearly HALF of all posts on the main page that are for recruiting? ---

Yup! Go to your user preferences and add the category you want to hide to “Muted topics.” ---

In the case of guild recruitment, it’s a little convoluted because each platform has it’s own child topic underneath the main guild chat topic. However, once I figured that out, it was easy to do. Thanks! ---

I didn’t consider it a call out thread either. It was a question
