Abuse reports not handled/responded anymore
-
Hello. I’ve used this https://en.wordpress.com/abuse/, or the “report this content” button to report spam sites created by bots, sites advertising illegal warez, sites advertising malicious pages etc. Such websites would be usually removed in a few days, a week tops.
Lately, WordPress does not remove these sites, I feel like the reports are reaching nowhere… it has been for 2-3 weeks for some of them but nothing has been done. Can a stuff member help me with this? Is there a way to reach WordPress.com via Email and report directly to them?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
What is the site in question? I can make sure that the report was generated successfully for you.
Thanks,

There are many of them, for example –
https://falsealarmtwodoorcinemaclub.home.blog/
https://guccimanedelusionsofgrandeurzippyshare.home.blog/
https://betweenusziphaydenjames.home.blog/
https://doomdaysbastillezip.home.blog/Not only do they use prohibited warez content, they trick users and lead them to identical scam/malicious blog pages, and are probably created by the same guy.
“…contain commercial content designed to drive traffic to third-party sites. This includes sites designed exclusively to improve the search-engine rankings of other websites… ”
I believe the warez content itself is enough to violate the TOS of wordpress. -
We don’t reply to every report, but we do handle them as soon as we can.
I’ll send these along again to make sure they get seen.

macmanx, I think there is a bug with the report form. You were just able to get them removed in seconds, while my reports didn’t have any impact for almost 2 weeks! I have a big list of unattended spam blogs, should I report them again or just post here like these 4?

We answer reports in the order they are received, and currently there is a backlog.
We took care of these in seconds because I bumped them to the head of the line.
Please do continue to report via the proper procedure specifically listed at https://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/ and we should be clear of the backlog shortly.
