Reporting questions on this forum?

Question

Hi All, I'm wondering why I can report a response on this forum but for example when someone posts a question that isn't like the advertsing of say yoga classes that on here now? Or I can teach you maths etc? The other month was some plain weird spamming happened.
What is the best way to notify the forum moderators of such breaches? Should one for example post a bigoted, or offensive remark in the hope it's reported and then the moderators read the original too? Should one report an inoxious answer? One can of course comment this isn't a small ads page but what can one do?
What does every one suggest we do to stop the Q&A turning into small ad cnetrala.

I looked for the same thing. If I am not mistaken, there used to be a 'report' abuse button previously. However, I could not find this.

Write an answer. You can then use the "Report abuse" to report your own comment. Action will be taken, but that can be an hour or 2 to several days.

If the offending post already has an answer, feel free to report that (the author of the answer will not be sanctioned, rest assured...).

Another way to alert us to something, without posting an answer, is to paste the URL into this form:
