    Here it is.

    Hello,

    We’ve marked the comment as spam.
    Only project developers or users the project has specifically set up with the appropriate permissions can mark comments as spam.

    Since you're not an admin on the project, it's expected that you wouldn't have the "moderate" permission.

    We'll also update the links to match that.

    Sincerely,
    SourceForge Support

    I don't think this is the correct approach. Projects with inattentive admins or just plain abandoned are numerous; by leaving moderation to project admins you are creating a golden opportunity for spammers. Or worse - certain comments can become a liability for Sourceforge, so Sourceforge personnel should at least participate in the moderation process, and to facilitate this process all registered users should be able to to report spam.
