Not sure this is the right place for the report - but it seems that after my recent Lounge activities someone targeted all my answers with spam 1-votes. Obviously I don't know who it is.
I have no problem with downvoting the messages people don't agree with, but Q&A Answers? Some of them were accepted solutions - downvoting correct answers sees a bit silly

Quite right to report this.
It is an abuse and the perps need to be spanked!

What makes it worse is that the tv show they're boosting isn't very good anyway.
They've posted for a third time: will probably keep doing do until CM nukes 'em.

His message is in context though... so maybe it's just a new user that needs to be warned about the contents of his signature line.

An article up for approval: How to teach your old ASP.NET web site modern Content Management tricks[^]
The thing is, to try it, or even check the article works, you have to sign up for a website - or you don't have the code.
Personally I think this should get a "no", but I'm not sure which type, and I'm not sure if it counts as spam instead.
Any ideas?

http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/349233/I-need-Help-on-how-to-add-a-title-name-on-the-list
The problem here is:
When I was preparing this post, somebody removed many of the spam posts. I failed to complete tracking using the pages where the first found spammer was posting. When I followed other spammed pages, I found some extra spammers. This is the reason I do not delete the spam post, but replace it content.
I understand that having a direct access to the database, it's possible to track removed spam posts and find more spammers, and ultimately delete both posts and account, but deletion of posts blocks the attempts to chain the search.
What can be done about it?
Thank you,

I'm sorry SA, but some of the posts you mentioned may very well have been removed by myself. I did mention the culprits in my post below though. I do agree that we need a better procedure to deal with this. If you care to share your ideas you'll find me an attentive listener!
Thanks for participating,
Manfred
