It's a difficult balance between ease of membership, and blocking spam/junk

Hi Mbed,

Subject kind of says it all. I see a lot of junk postings, trying to lure us with click-bait. If they post this in response to another post, there doesn't seem to be a "report" button.

Any thoughts how we might report, or "community block" the junk?

For example: https://os.mbed.com/questions/79299/How-do-I-create-windows-on-an-mbed-appli/#answer13576?compage=1#c31700

thx.

Hi David,

I don't have an answer for the "report" button for answers or comments under questions, but I can try to reach out someone knowing this.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Apparently you were working on a solution to this in November 2017 and we could expect to see the changes soon. https://os.mbed.com/forum/bugs-suggestions/topic/28361/
