Spam Zapping - 2 Ways to Report Spam on ActiveRain

Spam Zapping - 2 Ways to Report Spam on ActiveRain

By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe and the Get RE$ult$ Team, Your San Jose Saratoga Lynbrook & Cupertino Schools Experts

Like me, you've probably noticed a big increase in spam blog posts on ActiveRain (and even spam comments.) It seems spam is more active during holidays and weekends.

In my prior post, How to Report Spam on ActiveRain, I noted one way. Alan May, Coldwell Banker Evanston, Illinois Realtor® (Chicago's Northern Suburbs), kindly shared the following additional way to report spam.

Below is the original content from my post on the other way to report spam on AR.

Copy the blog HMTL title from the browser window.  

Click the blog as if you were going to make a comment. In the gray text box, the last choice on the bottom right is a category  "Contact ActiveRain". Click this. It will pop-up a form that is sent to AR.

The text reads:

Use the form below to contact ActiveRain support to provide feedback or report technical problems.

Your question may have already been answered in the Help/FAQ group, so you may want to check here first.
