Would you trust a free, Russian VPN from somebody who won't even pay for adverts? Strange ... me neither: Member 14762113 - Professional Profile[^]

Don't forget to kick the spammer, and his other spam post:

The other spammer has already been dealt with, so you just need to kick the message.

Excuse my ignorance, I just registered (mainly to post the above), could elaborate a bit (eg what's kicking?)?
As I tend to dislike spammers and do my part by reporting, I'd rather follow the guidelines and lingo of CP.

"Kicking" is voting a member as a spammer - to prevent malicious attacks, it takes a number of votes to close a member account (unless you are an admin). Enough votes and his is "kicked" off the site.
So when you meet spam, report it via the red flag - if you can see it - and post the member and any other relevant info (like a link to the spam itself) here.
Have a look at the messages below, and you'll get the idea.
Messages marked "from moderation" mean that they were picked up by the automated system and the messages have already been dealt with - but the member itself still needs kicking.

Gotcha, thanks!
In only have the orange bookmark flag, so for now I'll just report them here (bearing in mind what you said).

You're welcome!
As you interact more with the site, your rep will increase, and that gives you extra privileges - so you'll be able to do more later!

"Great site ... URL". Or at least, that's what he tried for. Ended up with a brief ad for "female viagra" in Russian without a link or URL ...
