There have been multiple spam accounts posting spam emails in the comments of different posts on the EA Forum, for several weeks now. While there isn’t a button on any of these comments themselves to report them, I’ve found that if the parent who received a reply from a spam account views the comment in their EA Forum account ‘inbox’, there is a ‘report’ button on the bottom of the comment next to it. For example, user ‘michaltrzesimiech’ could go to his inbox, and report this comment.
I don’t know the frequency with which reported comments are dealt with. I don’t know why there isn’t a report button on the permalinks or threads of comments. I suspect the original design decision was so that reporting function wouldn’t be abused by just any user on the site browsing the comments, and would work only at the private behest of an OP. If this is the case, I condone this decision, as almost all real comments made on the Forum have been in good faith, and the fact spam accounts are posting here is really weird and unforeseen.
Disclosure: I am not an admin or webmaster for the EA Forum, but I am in occasional contact with those who are.
