A hubpages member is emailing people to get people to view his hubs.
This is also someone who copies his text from wiki and republishes here.
Either one is annoying and a thumbs down hardly seems sufficient.
Any way we can report that besides crying about it in here??
Isabella,
There's an email on the "help" page for contacting hubpages and that's how I report these sorts of things.
And yeah, I've got this same bad apple's email in my in-box this AM too....
Why don't you post the proof here? Or, better yet, forward it to either of Pauls directly?
I have the email address but was kind of hoping they could make a flag button to actually flag a user, and not just a hub.... There are a lot of spammers who don't have hubs to flag..
Misha, I didn't post it here because I don't want to promote his links for him.
I came on to the forums this morning specifically to see if anyone else had commented on these emails...as I got one today also.
It is annoying. I would like to flag it as well.
I wonder if you guys got the same one as I did:

Try it...its superb
I changed the url so that the link doesnt work ..........jimmy
I went to the hub and flagged it, using the comment feature that was recently added i wrote, spamming hubpage users by email to visit this hub ,please see forum post. if all of you guys do the same then the team at hubpages will be sure to notice it ......jimmy
Great idea Jimmy. I didn't even want to give the guy a pageview...but, if it is the way to flag it, I will.
Same here and I followed up Jimmy's suggestion. Thumbs down and flagged!
I'd still like to see an option to flag a hubber without having to flag a hub (since many spammers dont even have them), or without having to post in the forum or email admin.
I don't like the idea of outing people in the forums as that does provide them with the attention they are desperately seeking.
I do flag hubs and thumb's down them when they have hubs. And I email the HubPages team when they don't.
The author in question will not be able to use the "contact this author" feature any more, and his new hubs will have to be reviewed before being published going forward. It may have just been a case of irrational exuberance brought on by pride in that hub. We're going to give him the benefit of the doubt this time anyway (in so much as not banishing him altogether).
Thanks Paul for your quick action, I have recieved mail from him before but didn't realise that he was also sending it to other authors on hubpages until i saw this forum thread, if i had known i would have reported it alot sooner.....jimmy

Okay- I'm about tired of this. Hub Hopping today and 4 sex hubs came through. 2 for escort services including phne #'s, one about sex toys with every other word as vibrator and anal sex, and one with sex photos and a link to escort. How is it that these Hubs are getting approved? I flagged each of...

There are many adult products being sold through Amazon. Are such Adult ads like Vibrators, sex toys allowed to be selected and used in Hubs by Authors. I have seen many hubs using Amazon ads like that. (Many hubbers display such amazon ads in hubs that have no relation to that Topic) I just want...

Am I losing money from my writing here on Hubpages?Although my hubs have been badly hit by another Panda or a Penguin update and the earnings from my Hubs are at their lowest in a few years, I cannot say in all honesty that I am losing any money what so ever.I may be earning less now than I have in...

Could the HubPages team please explain why some of us are getting warnings about non-compliant Hubs, but others are having their Hubs unpublished with no warning?I saw this post on another thread today:http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/74842#post1623078and it's not the first time I've seen Hubbers...

It's been asked before. We need to be able to flag hubbers and not just their hubs. This person http://hubpages.com/profile/nicolexue has joined just to promote a herpes dating site, and I don't need her (his, surely) promotional comments on my hubs, whether they are nofollows or not. The...
