How to report spam

[unmerged(64287)]

I have been getting annoying spam every once in a while from an annoying member called canonized. Every few months he sends the same message, with my name pasted at the top. Does he send it to others too? is this unsolicited messaging conforming to Paradox rules? How can I to report it?

Click on User CP.... at the bottom left there is a link for Buddy list/Ignore.....

Put the person on Ignore.

If the person is writing inappropriate things about your.... report it to a moderator (they are listed at the right when you are browsing the main forum.

I advise you to contact and moderator or administrator on this matter, depending on how heavy his spamming is they could ban him (but not likely here since it's only every few months...)

Also, try contacting him first, asking why he sends you messages, he could've made a mistake as well.

He does it every voting period for the AARland Choice AwAARds (ACA's). Its just a reminder that the awards are running and to vote. Anyone who has commented in his AAR receives the message.

If you wish to vote here is the link.

The ACA's are a quarterly award voted on by the community where you cast your votes for your favourite AAR's, for all AAR sub-forums, if you were wondering.

I get the same message, I suppose.. I didn't think of it as spam, though.

Anyway, someone higher up the food chain will take a look at it.
However, it's not HOI2 related, hence closed.

But, to answer the question in a general sense: if you receive or see spam, contact a moderator(if it's on a specific forum) or admin (PM spam or whatnot)
