Reporting spam in private messages?

G'day
(I'm cross-posting this from here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2677169#2677169)
On forum messages, there's a button to report it as spam. I cannot see any similar feature to report a private message as spam. Anyone know how to bring spam private messages to Adobe's attention (other than posting to the "report spam" threads here, which seems a pretty primitive way of effecting the desired result)?
Cheers.
Adam

In my memory, this is only the second odd PM that I have received. Going back a couple of months, I had gotten another, that might have been such an effort, or maybe just someone trying to contact me on a form topic, and they were just not clear. I replied with a question, as to which forum they were referring to, and never got any response. There were no links, or anything else, so I will never know about that first one - test run?
Still, I'd like to see this sort of thing nipped in the bud. Just not sure what can be done about it. Might be a simple task, or maybe not. The harvesting of PM accounts and then probably accessing Adobe accounts via a 'bot, or similar, is not something that I would like to think about. If the spammers can do that, is it much more difficult to gather up users' S/N's, etc., from their product registration data? Some Web software guru will have to answer that.
Glad to hear that it was the same one, that many of us got, and not a different one. Thanks for confirming.
Good luck to us all,
Hunt

Spam in private message

I have received a spam private message from a new user (you know, the usual message we normally receive via e-mail: you have a good profile get in contact with me write to me at xxxxxxx). The user appears to have posted anything in public boards.
I would notify this to moderators but private message boadd does not offer this option so I'm writing here. I can add the user name if needed, either here o in a private message to a person in charge of the matter. It would be interesting to know if other users have received spam PMs these days.

Lat time I PM'd two messages in succession, I actually got a captcha challenge.
I still don't quite get the business model of this spammer. Most likely it will end up as a confidence scam if you would reply. NI customers seem to smart for that, so what's the point? Maybe he's just collecting valid e-mail addresses of dimwits to be sold to spammers or scammers.

Messages/iMessages - reporting spam

Why is it so ridiculously difficult to report spam in iMessage/Messages? Lately, I've been getting more and more spam on iMessage/Messages and would like to report them to Apple (in the hope that Apple actually does more with such spam reports than they apparently do with map error reports :-( Alas, I have found no easy way to do so. Google'ing, it seems that the "official" way is to send an e-mail to Apple's spam-reporting email (which I already forgot) with a screenshot of the offending spam as well as the email address from whence it came.
If someone had asked me to devise the least user-friendly way of reporting SPAM - that would probably what I would have come up with :-(
Is there an easier way that I'm just missing? You know, like right-click on the message and click "Report SPAM..." or something that.
I love iMessage. I hope Apple stays ahead of the curve on the rising tide of SPAM that is beginning to hit this service.
If nobody knows of an alternative reporting mechanism, I will use my 'massive' influence with Apple and provide feedback...if I can find the URL :-)
[on that note: how come Mail has "Provide Feedback..." right in the application, but Messages and others do not - does the Mail team just care more?]

Hi,
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5821
As you say:-
To report unwanted iMessage messages to Apple, please send an email with the following details to: [email protected]
Include a screenshot of the message you have received.
Include the full email address or phone number you received the unwanted message from.
Include the date and time that you received the message.
iChat has it's own Page
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
The Mail app does not http://www.apple.com/feedback/ (Scroll down to Apps)
It fair to say that some of this stuff is historical about Apple set up feedback for each app.
Many menu items continue to do the same job they always did.
There are several in the Messages > View Menu that apply to Buddy Lists, which by default are not on show.
I still use the iChat Feedback page and Message is built on the iChat engine.
The page has never been brilliant at keeping up with the iChat versions (the OS versions got added to a List to get updated on new releases and that now works but took me four years of badgering the Hosts to pass it on).
It would also be worth noting if they are SMS messages rather than iMessages.
It will be easier to tell on the iPhone as this colours the messages based on iMessages or SMS.

Where do we report abuse and harassment through forum Private Messages?

Where do we report abuse and sociopathological harassment received through forum Private Messages?

For the most part yeah, guess so. Which is pretty much 50%+ of the other posts here, your point being?
Since you're bizzarely concerned about how I spend my time here outside of this forum, most of it is now reading. Not that it's any of your business... I've assisted people plenty before but not much since they jived the forums up.
I understood what you were trying to say. My main 'point' was that you hypocritically think you can make personal accusations of someone (in this thread above) being a sociopath without any sort of evidence or backing whatsoever and you see no problem with that, yet if others state a (much less offensive) opinion without full character references and footnotes you flip out on them and call them names. There's a correct way to call a statement someone makes into question when you think it's wrong, without being insulting or condescending, and there's the a-hole way--you prefer the latter.
The other point was that you only seem to attack people on this forum. Since this is not a Social Flaming Network, could you stop that? There's a difference between goofing off like 90% of the other people here and launching personal attacks towards others. Didn't your momma teach you some manners when you were little?

How To Send A Private Message

A private message is similar to an email. You can send and receive messages from anyone on the Forum without exchanging any personal information.
To send a Private Message (or PM):
1. Click on the screen name of the user, you want to contact.
2. The person’s profile page will open. At the right hand side, under Contact Me options, click on the “Send this user a private message” link.
3. This will open a window to create the message you want to send. Write an appropriate Message Subject and then write the main message in the Message Body.
4. Like creating a post, you can change font, color, size of the text and use various other utility buttons to create an appropriate message. When you are finished, click on Send Message.
Your message is now sent.
If somebody sends you a message, there will be a blue envelope icon right beside the Log Out link. To check your message box, click on the envelope icon.

Tax Report Returns No Data [Message 131-85]

Our client has been using SBO for the past few years and run the Standard Tax Report.

"Importer reported a generic error" message while importing ProRes 422 clip

Hi all. I am getting an "Importer reported a generic error" message when I try to import a ProRes 422, linear PCM clip into Premiere Pro CS6. I have imported other ProRes 422 clips in previous projects without a problem, although those clips did not have the linear PCM codec included. I have tried to solve the problem using advice on other forum threads. Changing the file name did not work. Removing underscores in the file name did not work either. Copying the file and pasting to a different folder before re-importing did not work either. The file DOES open in AE, but I am getting the error message without fail when I try to import into Premiere. Any thoughts on how to remedy the situation? FYI - I am still running version 6.0.0 of Premiere. Thanks for your help!

Try going to Help | Deactivate in Pr. Close Pr. Reboot. Launch Pr and activate if requested. That procedure has helped some users restore missing codecs and presets, maybe it'll help your Dynamic Link.

Loaded data is not yet visible in Reporting (see long text) Message no. RSM

Hi All,
I have one issue in BI part of Solman. For one of the scenario of Solution Manager uses its own BI component (BI_CONT 7.03 SP08 SAP_BW 700 SP15).
There is one background job which has to update the data in one of the infocube 0SMD_PE2D. This job is getting failed for the past 2 months.
When i check the logs of that background job, it shows the long text as below.
Loaded data is not yet visible in Reporting (see long text)
Message no. RSM1130
Diagnosis
There is an inconsistency between the load status of the data and the option of reporting on this data.
There is data in the InfoProvider that is OK from a quality point of view, but is not yet displayed in reporting.
The problem, for example, is to do with request 0000000494, number APO_R4CEHVODV7XS7MRL741GSMV9UB.
Procedure
Choose Refresh to remove the inconsistency.
I went to RSA1 and selected that cube and choose "Execution changes - Manage". On the right hand side under request tab page it shows all the requests with request status as Green. In Monitor there is No Data Available
I found a similar thread [Loaded data is not yet visible in Reporting for Data Mart destination cub; unfortunately solution is not updated.
Could any one help me
regards
Naveen

Hi Aduri,
In LISTCUBE i am getting the following error
SQL Error 0
Unknown error in SQL interface
System error in program SAPLRS_EXCEPTION and form RS_EXCEPTION_TO_MESSAGE
Source system is Solution Manager only, production client and BI by default its running in 001 client. We dont have any APO system in our landscape.
Kindly advice

Changes to Private Messaging Notifications

Hi All
After getting feedback from different forum members I have made a change to the Private Messaging (PM) email notifications. You may not have known, but it is possible to set up an email alert to let you know when you get a private message.
Some of the feedback we’ve had since the homepage refresh was that it can be easy to miss the fact you have a PM as they only show on the homepage. We are working on the design side of things, but in the meantime I have changed the default setting for PM notifications so that it will send an email when you get a PM. This means that every time you get a PM you will receive an email notification to let you know, so you can log in and check it.
If you don’t want to receive this notification by email, it’s easy to turn it off. Simply go to the homepage, Log In, click on My Settings, then Preferences, then Private Messenger, then untick the box which says ‘Receive email notifications for new private messages’, and click Save Changes. This will stop you receiving the email notifications for PMs. You can follow the same process to turn it back on if you change your mind.
Why not check out some of the other settings while you’re there!
Thx
Kerry

How do I acess a private message?

I clicked the URL in the email message in the inbox, but a notice came up that I was not authorised to read it. I don't understand why I can't access it.

Hi Judith,
I think that you are probably referring to a notification from Adobe Forums about a private message.
I think you need to be logged in to Adobe Forums on a browser before accessing the URL - it normally asks you to log in.
Once logged in to the forums, you can access the private messages under Your Stuff (see near the top).
Brian
ps - if you are viewing this in a browser and you are logged in you should see a Reply option just under this line on the right side.
