  Dear WP staff:

  Akismet is doing a really wonderful job keeping my blog free of comment spam (I currently get over 3,000 per month).

  I’ve now been getting several comment spams linking to a “front site” that is hosted at WordPress.com itself!

  front site: josephphowell.wordpress.com
  which is a front leading to: http://qualityseoservices.net/

  I think WP should take down the front site immediately. Is there a specific place where I’m supposed to report this kind of thing?

  Thank you,
  Henk van Setten @ stayontop

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

  If you go onto any wordpress.com site, in the admin bar, if you hover over the blog name, a dropdown bar will appear. Just click on report, and choose the appropriate option, and give a little explanation, then press submit report, and the blog will be investigated.

  You can also submit a report here: http://en.wordpress.com/report-spam/

  Thank you for pointing the way, Daniel! I didn’t know that… Marked this as “resolved” now.
