Reporting spammer Gravatar profiles?
-
I’m being hit with Like spam from Gravatar profiles that all link to the same MAKE MONIEZ NOW! website. The site isn’t hosted on wp.com, but the profiles are canned (girl’s name, stock photo of a pretty girl, random quote, trash website the only link) and clearly exist to spam that website everywhere they can get it. Is there an appropriate place to report them?

I tagged this thread for a Staff response. WordPress.com and Gravatar accounts are one in the same. Our blog posts are attracting fake followers who are like button spammers. Some are make money sploggers and scammers and then there are the others. Currently, I have a courtesan ie. a prostitute liking my posts but we cannot delete their likes or gravatars, all we can do is disable likes on our posts.

Hi Gypsy,
Is there a particular post you can point me to and/or the gravatar profiles in question? If the profiles violate our Terms of Service, we’ll handle them accordingly.
Thanks!

Let’s try not to. :-) At the end of the day, they’re still a Terms of Service issue, so not something for the forums.
You can report a Gravatar profile (e.g. http://en.gravatar.com/username) at http://wordpress.com/abuse/ while we work on the behind the scenes work needed for direct reporting via Gravatar.com again.
