We kicked him off yesterday: Spammer in the Lounge[^] - his mate remains, posting the same link though.

Honestly, anyone stupid enough to download a cracked security suite deserves whatever happens to them.
Seriously, how stupid does one have to be to do that?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

... that the kill count was reduced from 10 to perhaps 5? I am sure that everyone who reports spammers here can be relied on to behave responsibly.

I'm sure you are right about the people who frequent this page - but that isn;t everyone who hits the "abuse" button. I'd rather see a "weighting" added to protector (or similar) spammer / abuse votes to make five of those a kill instead. Complicates the software though.

I agree on both points, (and Welsh taxes,  ).

And more... in case it is a moderator and spam landed in Moderation I see no Need that it Comes here into a Queue waiting for 10 members clicking "spam" without the possibility seeing any of the spam Messages...

Because it prevents mistakes, deliberate or otherwise.
If a single hit is a headshot, it's too easy to accidentally include a legitimate user in a group of a dozen spam messages and reject them all. A headshot here could kill your account for no good reason.
And moderators are human: we make mistakes. A message that might be spam from a new user probably isn't from a long-time user, so having a sanity check on the user account helps prevent deliberate or accidental removal of disliked users.
Having a system of checks and balances is pretty important!

This question: The Lounge[^]
And also here: New Language/Help.[^]
From this: Tino Rozzo - Professional Profile[^]
IS pretty much the same as this: The Lounge[^]
From this: Member 12699787 - Professional Profile[^]
The link is identical, and since Richard reports:
Looking at that link in Fiddler[^] (not that I'm paranoid much! Smile |  ) shows a lot of tracking code, some "free hosting" adverts, and a tiny amount of text that you could easily have posted in your message.
I'd say it's spam and spammers.
