  For the last three or four days the “history” section of the WordPress Reader has been flooded with spam. I have tried reporting what I can but there are so, so many different blogs they are operating under. The posts are all about movie “Watch so-and-so movie here” and online streaming. It’s a nuisance to keep scrolling through and hindering my use of the Reader. Is there any other way to fix this problem other than reporting every other (almost literally) entry in the WP Reader? Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Could you please fill out the Abuse form — one instance for each of the Reader Topic terms you’re searching — where you see the spam blogs?

  Thanks!

  Certainly, Bryan. It’s just the one section that I see it in (I only view two different topics regularly).
