Is there any way to report against spammers?

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm kind of new here so need guidance from senior members. From the past few days I'm regularly getting reply notification via mail simply because of some spammers. I answered a question almost 8-9 weeks ago but, some people are spamming this useful topic for the sake of advertising. This is the question I'm talking about:

This topic has become Spam Magnet probably because of good visibility in search engines. Spammers are misleading visitors and users by posting deceptive answers and leaving links pointing to their own website. If you closely look at the activities of some users like:

You can clearly identify that they are just spamming the topic. They created account here just to answer this question only. I have sent mail to itworld team (online@itworld.com), it's been 20-25 days but no reply came from them. Is there anyone who can look into this matter seriously unless ITWORLD will soon become playground for spammers only.

At the bottom of each post under "Answer this Question", there are 4 options. The left most option is a "report" flag.  I'm not sure what happens after you send that down the tubes of the interwebs though.

Tuesday's Xbox One reveal answered some questions but also left us uncertain about a number of key topics. Microsoft seems less than concerned that they've left so many potential customers rather confused.
Some thoughts about the presentation and about questions not yet answered, such as how Xbox One will impact used game sales and what the truth is about the rumored 'always connected' requirement.
Today's the day Microsoft wows us (I hope) with it's next generation Xbox. So how does Sony combat that? With an ineffectual teaser that comes across as just sad...
Facebook’s founder turned 29 on Tuesday and the party may still be going on
Ouya gets $15 million in funding, delays launch and improves their controller. Meanwhile Gamepop offers a subscription-based Android gaming solution for your TV. But many questions remain.
The Donald wants FundAnything to be like Kickstarter, only gaudier
And I finally get around to mentioning the Time Warner Cable Roku Channel, too.
Yesterday we got word of another confirmed next gen title launching in Q4 of this year. Plus good and bad news for Wii U owners, and Sony gets even more indie-friendly.
A trifecta of gaming news shorts today, with the most important being about the much-rumored "always connected" aspect of the next Xbox. Never fear, you'll be able to play single player games without being online.
If you've left the Wii Fit fad behind but still have the hardware, here's a way to put the Balance Board to use that doesn't involve the Wii or a television.
