Reporting Spam

OGA's spam filter has been working amazingly well (the volume of spam comments it prevents is impressive), but occasionally some comments and art submissions slip through.  If you happen to see some spam on OGA, there's now a "Report Spam" button, which will bring it to the attention of the administrators.  It's also fine to use this button to report blatant trolls and other abusive comments.

You shouldn't actually be able to mark blog entries as spam.  Is that happening? :)

Hmm, you can mark the comments as spam.

 

More spam = more spammers thinking this place is important = it is important = good work! Think about it that way.

Is this still a thing? I don't see the Report Spam buttons anymore, and there's a spam user (findingnemo) what needs reportin'.

Same here. I even think he's a bot.
Hopefully, these comments in a blog thread four pages down will be seen...

The user was zapped courtesy of Botanic, but they seem to have picked right up with the username 'mandymoore'. May need to ban by IP..
