Where to report PM spam
Number of replies: 3
Not a moodle question, but a moodle.org question. I've received a spam message via a PM, and other than blocking the user I don't know where to report it. Is there anything else I need to do?
Re: Where to report PM spam
Hi Mark,
For spam messages (or if you notice spam on any other Moodle community site), please email support@moodle.org. We can then block the spammer's account and delete all the messages they sent so that they don't appear in anyone's messaging history.
(The email is mentioned on our contact page; if you can think of anywhere else it should be mentioned, please let us know!)
Re: Where to report PM spam
Thanks Helen,
I missed the link to the contact page in the footer - I was looking at all the while links and missed the blue ones right at the bottom!
I suppose another useful place to have access to this info might be on the Messaging interface itself, although spam doesn't seem to be a particularly big problem on the site in me experience (or the mods are very efficient at tackling it).
Re: Where to report private messaging spam
Thanks Mark for your suggestion. Maybe the contact link needs to be made a bit clearer!
Up to now, we've only had spam sent via private messaging very occasionally. More common is spam in forums, hence the 'Report to moderator' links.
