VercatusSpam reports manual action
Since April 2026 Google's spam report page says Google may use a submitted report to take manual action against violations of its spam policies (changed on 14 April 2026 and clarified on 23 April 2026); otherwise reports help improve spam detection. Reports must not contain personally identifying information, because the submission text is sent to the reported site's owner if a manual action is issued.
