Item Seller Spam on COMMs
Our group is getting bombarded by daily messages from limitless accounts with this codesevenhack.net garbage. Did someone on Niantic turn off the filters? Or is this particular one falling through the cracks? This started happening roughly from June 8 onwards. Not sure if anyone has reported this yet.
Please remediate.

Got one of those on june 11. Amazing that this can go on for so long. What I'm curious about: why can't sites like these be taken offline? They clearly infringe on Niantic's copyrighted material, and can be said to even hamper Niantic business. I'd sue the pants off 'em. I mean, look at this professionally designed site and business model:
I bet people ARE willing to pay for their 'remote portal destruction service'...
Yep, here we go again. @NianticBrian@NianticCasey we really need a fix
I'm looking for a way to report some in my area (different accounts, but the offenders' names make it obvious that they are associated with the one you posted).
The Niantic reporting system bot doesn't even seem to have a category for this. Selling their account? Cheating? Harassment? None of those really seem to fit the situation.
There's already a thread tracking this with a reply from @NianticBrian .

I would recommend editing your screenshots to block out the illegal site URLs as it's basically free advertising for them.
