[Site Funtionality][Site Rules] Reporting users?
There's a user that's been posting blatant spam for his own websites. Over 80% of this user's snaps are from a website that shares a name with the account's user name. The other 20% are all sites that use the same template. One even has a line at the bottom - Designed by [username].
I've been downvoting these posts as I see them, and marking them as spam / blatant self promotion, but recently when I downvote I no longer get the prompt to enter a reason.
What's the best way to go about reporting this behavior? Is there already a reporting mechanism in place that I'm missing?

When you down vote and select spam, the user is automatically reported. There is currently a glitch in the functionality that has effected the downvote reasons for snaps. We are working on fixing the issue and releasing a hot fix. We should have this resolved within the next couple of days.
I think maybe the "self-serving" reason should automatically report as well to deal with these users. Because when I see these spambots, the primary reason I see for downvotes that people select is the "self-serving" rule, because that's what it is. I think most people think of spam as meaningless posts, which these posts aren't since they'd be acceptable if not for the "self-serving" rule so posts may not be getting reported effectively.
Currently we have an issue with the down vote reason functionality which will be corrected shortly. I'm not sure if you have read a recent blog post in /t/blog about our upcoming voting functionality update but there is a lot of details inside that explain how we plan to improve on the current concept.
I know exactly who you're referring to.
They're the reason I was looking for a way to report as well.
