   I was wondering something similar. There is an option to report a post as   
   spam, and to report messages as abuse, but then they have to have people   
   process these complaints. This takes time and money for something they don`t   
   make money off of.   
      
   Now there a appears to be a problem for me scrolling through posts to get to   
   the bottom to hit "send".
