Reporting spam, phishing, abuse etc.

[alexei]

What are the mechanisms to reporting spam/phishing? I just received two spam emails linking to
https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmQwN61kY9e19CxprtQC39ZHcCLt6aGNjUPnctYvz63qhR?/kiomd.html#[MY-EMAIL] I'm not an ipfs user and I will report the two emails. I thought you should know in case you want to take action against the user who created that page.

The issue has been raised before (#769 and #773) but there doesn't seem to be any resolution.

It appears this isn't news:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ipfs%20spam

I'd appreciate if there was simple mechanism to reporting abuse on the site, linked in the footer. Other than that - good luck, I guess 🤷‍♂️

@alexei currently the way to report abuse on our gateways is via [email protected]. We have this linked in a few places like here. You mentioned putting it in the footer, I like that idea. Where do you imagine it'd live? Across all of ipfs.tech and docs.ipfs.tech?

[alexei]

I don't know 🤷‍♂️ Like I mentioned earlier I don't use ipfs so I'm not familiar with your web properties. I didn't see the header link to https://ipfs.tech/help/ when I looked, for some reason I only checked the footer...

@alexei thank you very much for your feedback, this helps a lot. I'll look into getting something akin to "Report abuse" into the footer with a page explaining what can be done about it.

Please be aware that by posting specific URLs here, someone or something will access them and thus confirm your mail address. This will lead to you getting even more spam than before.

Not easy how to report abuse. That Information is only found in your github repo. You should add this information next to the contact information on: https://ipfs.tech/
