Where to report abuse?
While looking through the unanswered questions, I found three posts by someone called "FreeSystems". They have regular .NET related titles, but contain an ad for an online casino.
I guess that someone found this forum and it's ability to track views of a thread and abuses it.
Here are the threads in question:

Since we're using Passport to sign in, it should be pretty easy to exclude that user, right?!
(I noticed the "Report" link at the bottom, but I takes you to a page that looks like a regular new post dialog..?)
Hi,
Yep, the Report button on your lower right is the right place to report a post or a thread. It looks like a regular post dialog coz you'll have to include the reason on why you intend to report the post. Once you have posted it, the moderators would be able to see it, and apply proper measures on the reported post.
Don't hesitate to use it...
cheers,

WHen you click 'report abuse' is it posted to the forum?
I don't want to complain about an inappropriate comment to the entire forum, I just want to know if the moderator thinks certain...references are ok? I was searching for something and came accross something that was a little sexual to me, and was wondering if the moderator could just tell the person 'hey, this is a little too much' or, tell me I'm being over sensitve.
How does this work?
I could just contact a moderator, but I'm not always sure who's who. Also, I think it might be better to somehow report to the moderator group on something like this, instead of randomly picking one person.
