I got a private message with a business proposal (selling coffee???) and I would like to report this. I think it is a missuse of the platform to send messages like that. (spam) It would be good to build it a "Report" button or something like that.

Thanks

Hello mimie,

You can report any messages/user by clicking on the report link (found below of the post) or by clicking the contact us link!

Can I have the name of the user/spammer! We will take appropriate measures instantly.

Yes I saw that, but that felt a bit unpractical, wanted to forward the message directly. But Thank you, will send you the information..

Also, there is no appropiate subject to choose, maybe you could add "Reporting message/user" or something

Just started a new 'topic' SPAM before I read this message. This site really has to get more advanced (serious)about its privacy protection. I've been bugged before and it was a total disaster when years of saved data, friends and acquaintances was stolen and then bugged in return. Had to give up an old e-mail address. Not selling our addresses are you?

That'll get them hopping!

It's not a privacy protection issue, as explained here https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.p … 380#259527 you posted your email address on a public forum !

We are doing our best to moderate the forum, but we just can't delete all the emails posted on the forums
