Just cleaned up everything that had been reported. Sorry, we are a little behind after my paternity leave and one of our main support people had a death in the family. Trying to get caught up!!

And I reported each one. That's what you should do as well. Don't bother responding to them - they are scammers piggybacking on popular posts. Consider it the price of fame! ;)

First I have seen this type of thing this month, but it generally goes if waves, I am sure that Bob Stewart and his crew will be stamping these out as quickly as possible.

I've seen some spam and a lot of gibberish.  You seem to be getting more than your share John DL Arendsen .  

Wow, you got a lot of attention and unwanted comments....

I notice these are all new 'Rainers'...not for long though if you reported them!

that's spam....a triple dose....

There still less common than dumb questions from the poor kids at that real estate school that assigns us for homework!

Sure does look like spam to me.

Lots of it indeed and I try my best to report each one as I scroll past it.

[EDIT: I had a comment in here about how it would be nice if once reported a comment's report link would turn to something to indicate that it had been reported.  I see from the screenshots above that it does, it does. Guess just hadn't noticed; learned my something new for the day!]

John,

I have not seen these, lucky me.  I ignore what I don't like, and just move on with my day.  Life is very very precious, and this is stuff that in my opinion is best ignored.  A

I got spam and hack

Just report answers that are not appropriate.

Report, report, report and take back the community

Otherwise, you need to move on to something else.

AR has always been a pretty good place to get away from the garbage and discuss with other agents.

Yes, big time yes! For that reason, I am seeing myself slowly drift away...

From the responses, I would say that things will be back to normal soon.

Not been a victim as of yet, but have seen it in comments left for others!

wow - maybe they were speaking Clingon? You really won the lottery with off track answers

I haven't noticed the problem in Q&A but did enjoy your replies to these, John DL Arendsen 

Good morning John. I come across it from time to time, I report it and move on.

Stuff happens.  So do glitches.  Spam is not just in the grocery store.  

I have reported a few replies. 

Guess I have missed out on some of your fun, John. There are certainly periods where the spam gets far worse

John DL Arendsen we usually report the spam as soon as possible - and want the support from the community to do the same.

It's a huge platform and despite all the appropriate steps taken by the tech team at AR, the spammers do sneak in.

Best thing to do is - just report it and they will take care of it. (Deleting is the second choice.)

It seems that spam comes in waves, gets zapped, disappears for a while and then returns. It's the same never ending battle we fight with our email spam...report as spam, delete, rinse and repeat. I report spam on AR when I encounter it and eventually it is removed but never seen a notificaton that it was done.

I haven't noticed this. Maybe it comes and goes and is gone by the time I log on.

I never hear back when I report a comment John DL Arendsen but the comments do disappear.  I'm sure that Bob Stewart and the AR staff will get these cleared away and let those who wrote them know to follow the rules.

John, yes I've gotten some spam on several of my blogs and occassionally on questions.  I report it and pray the AR gods smite the spammers.

I also get spam phone calls from lonely Russian women who need money for nursing school...

Well one of those is polish or czech I believe. You've been spammed for sure.

Yep, report 'em for points.

That is a currency trader site somehow found its way. Send to Support they will block the ipaddress and remove the member.

Some people speak gibberish fluently is where the problem lies. Rational transparent folks have trouble with this & the gibberish people think it is us

I have not seen anything like this

John DL Arendsen I see that you have reported these comments to AR.

I have not seen these, and do report the spam whenever possible.

I have not seen it.

Since today overland the rigors of effort the EPA and USA government agree sampling and tree saplings good forutne.
