The Lounge[^]
why does "naming and shaming" apply to the lounge?
the lounge is international, yet this guy wants to report ebay scammers in UK
if all lounge posters posted their local scammers what does that make the forum into?
"name and shame" as a general topic fine,
but individual cases belongs elsewhere - rather the platform where the abuse is happening
(it's not as if the person was advertising their product in the lounge.)
pestilence [ pes-tl-uh ns ] noun
1. a deadly or virulent epidemic disease. especially bubonic plague.
2. something that is considered harmful, destructive, or evil.
Synonyms: pest, plague, people

I think you are overreacting - this isn't really any form of abuse: it isn't spam (he gains nothing form it, unless this is a profiteering competitor he's trying to shut down and I doubt that); it isn't abusive (his language is perfectly reasonable); and it's no more "off topic" than most lounge posts.
So I can't see any legitimate reason for a "spam / abuse" report on the page (though that is your right) much less one here.

If you find them in another country, I would have no problem with you reporting them.

I personally find that better than many of the bad jokes or other OTD posts that are usually posted in the lounge.

He already reported him there. But it is like our spammers / scammers here in CP. The faster other people report it, the quickier they get nuked and can't scam anyone else.
In a more general way... as long as no rule is broken, if you don't like it, just move to the next post.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
