Can't seem to find out where to report Spam in the Arlo community.  Here is the message I received today.

Did you receive this in a private message?  If you click on the three dots in the upper right of the message, you should see an option to report inappropriate content.  You can also forward it to @JamesC via PM.  For instance, reply, then quote, then change the to address to him.

The option to Report Inappropriate Content also exists on most public posts - one major exception being the Idea Exchange

I'm not sure how I came to receive this as I have never been an active community member. Is this something new I should look not so forward too?

It said:

I received similar private message yesterday requesting I click on a link to view sexy pictures.  It was from stefanie936sk  Certainly was not appropriate for this community. 

[WhippetMom]

Has anyone else gotten disgusting messages from total strangers? 

I thought this place was a page to get help with arlo and not a place

where some freak can send porn links via private message.. 

Their username is mariaph1995

"Hey, I'm Maria Want to have a good time? come and see my photos here

[WhippetMom]

I also got one.. Here's the info on the user.

Hey, I'm Maria Want to have a good time? come and see my photos here

Hello

[SUECSHADOW]

Yes. How do I turn the messaging off?

[SUECSHADOW]

I Received one asking pretty much the same thing it’s just disgusting.

[WhippetMom]

Thought this would be a safe place to get info about my Arlo.

Looks like lots of people got these disgusting messages instead...

[JamesC]

I received one from ulenithke and have been trying to see how to report it without opening the message. I will try to go into it (without opening the link it provided) and report from there, but wanted to pass the information along here, as well.

[JamesC]

BLG,

I will take a look at this user profile. Thanks for reporting.

You can't.

Though (based on past experience here)  I think that Arlo will be able to stop this.
