A report spam button for right click sellect and other blender community tabs.
I do not know if this is a new thing or a frequent occurrence but all tabs seem to have a spam problem currently. I looked for a report button but I couldn't find one. It seems like a pretty early thing to implement to a forum (or something like a forum). Screenshot for example.

At the very least they could put a captcha on the submission form.
* @thinsoldier * I think, post should be hidden after few minuses and autosend spam/problem message to moderator after few more. Community can react faster to spam.
Yeaaaah that was funny the first day [I had a Pablo Vasquez reaction of, "oh, we're that popular now"], but then not very much has been done since then to keep it from happening every other day since. I would like to not see weird crap in my feed when I check it at work!
some of those are really funny LOL
Maybe there could be a list of words that autohides posts. For example, that phone number in front of each post that's identical. (Almost) Nobody on this forum would post that phone number, unless they were spamming... or simply referring to it. Spammers have ruined this forum.
* @BlenderSplendor * It is better to have autocheck of previous user`s message. If it's text have 60%+ words from previous, then captcha appears. If 3+ messages with capcha have same text, user gets automute. And moderator will get message.
* @ Vyacheslav * You could make a banned word list that autohides posts. That phone number they keep on spamming seems like a good candidate. Nobody would need that number to make a feature request.
This one has been on the site for three weeks and counting and the most I've been able to do is down vote it. So yes to a report button please.

I had this site on an RSS feed until recently when I opened the reader to find nothing but SPAM CAPTCHA on posts seems like overkill though I wonder about the sign up in the first place surely more checking is needed there.
Ticket relevant to this: github.com/armadillica/dillo/issues/134
Until the new version of the site will be ready, the down-vote is the easiest solution we have available for now.
