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?

I'm guessing that the outcome of the previous report was a "spam" and the article closed then.
I tend to agree - without the pay-for service it's pretty much useless, so spam is probably the best description. Did anyone post a "warning shot" with the previous version?

No. I was about to do so,but i didn't receive any response with that post. Let's try it out. I suspect author is unaware about how we consider/handle spam.

Theres also a problem that Report flag is not available at any of the messages.

The code is very problematic - it uses a specific (payed) service to deal with SMS, and the solution next to nothing without it! To me it seems problematic, the question is how innocent the author is...
