What do you want to happen to the spam-marked articles? 1) delete 2) mark as expired 3) process with a spam processor 4) move to another group 5) a combination of 1 through 4 If you explain what you expect, it's easier to help you. Your expired articles are not being deleted. You need to look at the group expiry parameters and set them the way you want. Right now, it seems that only (2) in the list above is happening. Ted
