Mods do not respond on the forum to sich cases.. You should have reported the profile. But as you can see now on the profile, it's already been limited.

Thank you for alerting us to this spamming attempt both here and by filing Moderation Reports. The moderators saw the large number of reports and were able to take action to stop further posts and to remove the links posted so far. If we missed any, please let us know.

Generally calling out a player by name is not permitted in the Forums, so I will delete the players name from this thread. However, the poster is not being punished because we understand the seriousness and emergent need to draw our attention to this issue.

In the future, more moderators are likely to see and take action if you file a report by by going to their Profile and select "Report This Player" in the top right corner to fill out a Moderation Report. Be sure to include the table number and mark all of the offensive lines in the chat. This will send the report to our Moderators to review. There is a great team of 11 volunteer mods from around the world checking these reports.

Do not ever click suspicious links on the internet. Your safety and the safety of your online identity are important. When in doubt, double check the source before using any links. Links posted on BGA by players other than Admins should only be followed if you trust the player personally.

I wanted to report the user, though this was spammed in groups posts and I didn't find any case in the reporting system that would fit this case... What item should have been chosen ?

I reported under "behaved inappropriately in chat..." -> "read more" -> "in a specific group discussion"
