Hello @jimakos, thank you very much for pointing out this issue. The problem was that there was no set destination for reports, so they went nowhere. It was my oversight. I've fixed it and will keep an eye on it.

@jonsonbrand is banned. In the future, anyone who is here just to send out direct messages without being active on the forum will be banned.

@iyadkoo - repeat it and you will follow jonsonbrand to banland.

Thank you, Felix

P.S. If your reports are left without a response for more than 24 hours or you have something urgent, feel free to contact me via message.

Blocking a spammer depends on the platform or service you're using. Here are general steps to block spammers across various platforms:
Email

1. **Gmail**:
- Open the email from the spammer.
- Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the email.
- Select "Block [Sender's Name]".

2. **Outlook**:
- Open the email from the spammer.
- Click the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner of the email.
- Select "Block".

3. **Yahoo Mail**:
- Open the email from the spammer.
- Click the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner of the email.
- Select "Block sender".



Website or Forum

1. **Admin Control Panel**:
- Log in to the admin control panel.
- Navigate to the user management section
- Find the spammer’s account and select the option to block or ban the user.

2. **WordPress**:
- Use plugins like Akismet or WP-SpamShield to automatically filter and block spam comments.
- Manually block users by going to the comments section, selecting the spam comment, and marking it as spam.

Phone

1. **iOS**:
- Go to the Phone app and open the Recents tab.
- Tap the "i" icon next to the spammer's number.
- Scroll down and tap "Block this Caller".

2. **Android**:
- Open the Phone app and go to the Recents tab.
- Tap the number you want to block.
- Tap "Block/report spam".



- **Report the Spammer**: Many platforms allow you to report spam or abuse. Reporting can help prevent further spam from that user.
- **Use Spam Filters**: For emails, use built-in or third-party spam filters to automatically sort and block spam.
- **Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**: Adding an extra layer of security can prevent spammers from accessing your accounts.

By following these steps, you can effectively block spammers and reduce unwanted communications across various platforms.
