    A spam magnet is a thread that generally attracts spammers.... such as a thread based on "how to lose weight" spammers will then spam that thread with websites that answer the question. Links are not allowed here and we have to delete those posts but also spam magnet threads can be as old as 3-4years so we close the thread so no more spammers can post on that thread.

    Hope that helps

    Yeah, I don't believe you all can see the deleted posts, but some of them have quite a handful, especially in the beauty sections and weight loss. At some point, it is easier just to close the thread rather than keep having spammers post their junk on it.
