I thought this element14 is forum for professionals

Hi Teemu,

Sorry about that. We do try our hardest to stop these spammers by deleting their accounts when we receive complaints. I've been on element14 for over a year now and have only received one mail like this. Unfortunately it is impossible to inspect and verify that everyone who joins element14 is a professional engineer

Hi Teemu,

Do you mean the spammer has been deleted? The community manager email address works for me,

Hi Christy,

I sent an e-mail through earlier today regarding inappropriate blogs on Element-14.

As an EDE support and colaberation site, I dont think its apropriate to be selling  non EDE products here.

Anyone disagree?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for reporting this. We encourage our members to report any content they feel is inappropriate, as Wendy indicated she has done, using the "report abuse" feature of the site. Unfortunately this feature isn't yet available on private messages as in Teemu's case, but it does appear on all discussions, documents, blogs, and events.

We rely on our members to tell us what they feel is not appropriate for the site and then our moderators take it from there. In some cases we are able to work with the content author to make changes and repost it, and in some cases the content is permanently removed from the site.

I would encourage members to use the report abuse functionality over emailing communitymanager but we do check and respond to member feedback in either case.

Thanks again for reporting this issue.

Sincerely,

Christy Zurcher
