Spam and Abuse Watch

• If you catch an author plagiarizing, please close the article and report and close the account, unless the author is a very active member who has otherwise behaved themselves. Here is our Plagiarism FAQ if you have any questions about what qualifies.
• Do no report users who post Press Releases, unless it is obviously unrelated material
• If you catch spam in the Message Moderation queue, please mark it as spam (rather than deleting it) so that the spam catcher can learn.
• It is OK to report abusive language as spam in the Message Moderation queue.
• In Quick Answers, please allow users to answer old questions unless they are spamming.
• If you think someone is breaking a site rule, but are uncertain, you can look at our Terms of Service
• When in doubt, ask for assistance from an admin.
