This g2g thread appears to have been "answered" by an anonymous without IP address which sent code in what appears to be one of the slavic languages to my in box. g2g still shows an answer two hours ago but it has been "hidden" or something. Can someone check it out, please?

When you see a G2G post like that, flag it. That's the most efficient way to call it to the attention of the folks who can hide bad content and block the people who post it.
The answer or comment does not appear anywhere on that g2g thread so not sure how to flag it. That question shows it had a new answer circa 2 hours ago from an anonymous poster but nothing is on the thread. Perhaps it was already flagged by someone else and removed?
It had been hidden before I saw your G2G post.

I saw something like that a few days ago. It was a spam post in Russian. It seems to be the new tactics of the spammers not to post simply new postings (as they are double flagged within minutes, but a comment to a posting. It is possible to flag comments, that's what I did then and the comment will be hidden when two people flag it.
