Is there any way that the account of "Vienvert" can be blocked, as it is the one being used to post the spam/counterfeit goods adverts for the past few days? |

When you push the posts out and they leave the main page, it becomes impossible to report them as spam.
If we had let members report the posts, they would have been automatically deleted after a small number of reports and the other contributions would have returned on the main page. While I understand why you are doing this, I think it would have been better to let people report the posts.

Yes, i do understand that, but this spam converts all of the links on the page, including the spam reporting one, to direct to to their web site, so the link does not actually work, at least for me. Reporting it as spam is the first thing i try, but, when the link no longer works because it has been hijacked, i have to revert to plan B. |

Unfortunately, whoever is spamming us will probably just create another sock puppet. But Victor is the only one who can ban or block users. |
