Can I report posts on PH Discussions?

Question

Spam on this platform is getting out of hand every single day. Today and yesterday were the worst in a loooong time. Just scroll down and you can see dozens of SEO spam posts from 2-3 different accounts. What can we do?

Ana Marshall · Accepted Answer

lol, wow - just started scrolling and saw what you were talking about. I'm not even sure what the point is besides an arbitrary backlink

Amy Tang · Answer

seriously! what's going on?

Oleksandr Senyuk · Answer

Muting users would be great.

Answer

I'm not against people promoting their product/project or ask for feedback etc. But I don't care about puffy eyes or some other weird stuff. I'm not here for that... I love the community on PH but something should be done

Deepak Joshi · Answer

I don't think anybody cares

This is very much needed. Is there a way to tag an admin in this discussion?

Henry Dobson · Answer

@amy_tang There were always a few spam links but they were so few that we'd just ignore them. Spammers discovered PH I guess :( It has only become worse since I posted the thread.

@amy_tang @deepak_positive Is there any other platform that might be better. The closer I get to my launch the more nervous I am getting with this platform not actually providing what I need.

A true evaluation if people will use or provide feedback on my product.

Henry Dobson · Answer

@ana_polymervco I doubt it has any SEO value either. If it does, maybe that can be the fix :/

Henry Dobson · Answer

@amy_tang @deepak_positive @alex_arevalo I'd wager launching it over here is still a good call, it's harder to spot spam over on the main page. And there would be less because they are not trying to get an arbitrary backlink as Ana said.

@oleksandr_senyuk Would prefer to report accounts+mute but if muting would help a lot too.
