[Imc-web] Re: [UCIMC-Tech] Spam Storm Coming

[Mike Lehman]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the latest post purporting to offer porn was as a registered user "rebexx" with a email address of endvoler at gmail.com .

I blocked that account on our site. Any suggestions about what we should do in following up on the email address? Does gmail block user accounts of theirs if we file a complaint?
