I was wondering the same thing.  On Fri morning, I reported 7 of them from that moving company.   When they weren't deleted, I put a comment about them on one of the AR blog posts.

It's really annoying as there is clutter there and currently they still have links back to their site.

Are you talking about those ridiculous anonymous questions?  I wondered about that also.  I hope this gets answered.  A

It does take time to take care of those posts - and the IP address, too.

They have filters in place but spammers work on ways to get through. Staff is good about zapping them when they see them or are notified.

I have reported several including the Fico coin ones and in time they did delete them.  We used to be able to delete from our own blogs, then we could report them as Spam.  I wish they kept the spam button active if not bring back the right to delete.

I haven't seen it, Ron, in Q&A. I have reported some inappropriate postings in regular posts and sometimes it just takes them a bit of time to get the post off and to block the poster. But ulitmately they get the job done.

Ron, I think there is a lot more auto pilot these days. It's sad but my guess is that there are staff cuts at ground central

Good question.  Maybe they are taking the weekend off and haven't seen the reports.

There are three or four questions on this part of Q&A about a moving company....they need to GO!!!  And, I agree the anonymous ones are also worrisome.
