   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

   One thing I found out when Google was preventing me from posting under my old   
   account is that it is almost impossible to   
   get a hold of someone for one-on-one support. I think I finally got a chat   
   session but it wouldn't surprise me if AI was   
   responding to me. It never did give me a resolution to my problem and I   
   finally decided to solve it myself by creating a new   
   account. I'm discovering that is becoming more and more common with lots of   
   businesses. It used to be you could click on   
   Contact Us and have a choice of phone, email, or chat support. Now you're   
   lucky if you find a Contact Us link.

   I think that banner announcing the end of new contact has shoved everything   
   else down so you can't scroll to the last few   
   lines on the page. I discovered I could get to the Post Message button if I   
   reduced the page size to 75%.
