Report violations, duplicates, misplaced posts, etc.

pilla

This will allow an easy method of contacting all moderators at one time.

Users:
- If you spot what you believe to be a duplicate post, please post a link to it here. In addition, include a link to what is being duplicated.
- If you find a post you think belongs in a different forum, let us know.
- Avoid multiple reports of spam:
  - If a user's posts are all spam, report the user, not the posts.
  - Review this thread after submitting a report. Please delete your report if someone beat you to the punch.
- Any other post that you think requires moderation (violations of Guidelines, broken BBcode, etc.).
Moderators:
- Please delete posts after you've addressed them.

Thanks in advance.

Reason: 1 message, url in profile, archeologist poster, i didn't click the bait, spam for me

The url is github.io. I believe others consider that an acceptable url. My .02. Thanks for reporting. --pjp
[According to https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages, $STRING.github.io is the usual location for a Github Pages site owned by the Github account $STRING. This site can be anything Github will allow the accountholder to post. It's not necessarily legitimate nor necessarily spam, but must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. -Hu]
