Unfortunately, the Piwik forums do seem to attract quite a lot of spam posts.
Whenever I visit the forums, if I see any spam posts (sadly, I usually see at least one), I usually report them, so that they can be removed, but it seems that after a recent change the āReport postā button is no longer present?
How should we report spam posts now? In particular, there seems to be a user (possibly a bot) who has signed up very recently and has already posted over a dozen posts, the main purpose of which appear to be to spam a (possibly dodgy) web link. Although some of the userās posts contain some small amount of vaguely-relevant content, I have a feeling that either they are automated Eliza-like responses to earlier comments, or, if human-written, are still primarily posted just to spam their web link.
I looked in the forum Control Center to see if there was a āContact forum adminsā link, but could not find one. I looked in the āPrivate Messagesā section and there are a lot of usernames listed which either appear to be spammers or spambots (users with odd āauto-generated-soundingā names) and also usernames which are either URIs or attempted XSS injection code.
Possibly there needs to be a removal of bogus forum users and/or an update or hardening of the forum software (if someone has the time, of course - Iām afraid I donāt have the spare time to volunteer to help)?
Thanks, as ever, to everybody who helps contribute towards Piwik and to offering advice in the forums.
