I'd just come here to report it myself.
Hope it lasts long enough for the email to be got by the spam bots - or should I sign up for a few accounts myself...Hmmm....
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

They are posting messages as well. Don't forget to have those blitzed.
So far, we have this[^], this[^] and this[^].

Account's gone. The posts need a few more kicks clicks.

This[^] message.
Nice trick to give someone -176 rep.

This one too[^]. Down-voted and reported as spam 23 Nov 2012 6:59 AM. (Should be UTC, but it seems to be an hour behind.)
Mine also lost 176 points. Since the points lost correspond to the user's reputation, I'm wondering if this is the same user?

My answer to that question (which I'll admit was tongue in cheek) also received the abuse vote.
I deleted mine as it perhaps could have rubbed someone the wrong way, but I think we may be dealing with a troll here.
(This troll is high rep, but not platinum. A platinum user would have dinged us for 180)
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I've deleted my message, but it's still showing the -176 in my "latest reputation events" page.

Deleting a post will never remove the abuse report. The down-vote may go away in time, but the report will not. Perhaps a hamster will correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Anyhow, since it appears at least 2, if not more posts have been frivolously flagged by a high ranking, but not platinum member, I have posted a question in Site Bugs (Link[^] to see if the hamsters can look into it at some point.
Because of some of the voting issues and such on the site, I expect that this won't be their highest priority, and rightfully so.
Cheers.

That's odd. Did they up the report count for banning an account? My strike was 6th and the account remained active after that.

Odd indeed - he is still active, and the count still says "6" - it's possible some voted as "abusive" rather than "spammer, or it could just be that the membership DB hasn't caught up yet...

Kicked him off. When reporting it shows 8 reports and then the account was gone.

The account is no gone, the posts need a little nudge.

Posts have been nudged.
Pete's eternal optimism needs a nudge too.
On second thought, I love his beautiful, innocent outlook on life and his hope and dreams that spammers will one day say "hang on! This isn't working. Let's all get a job".

None at all - a task that I was going to have to do this week has gone away all by itself. No proof reading of limp crodspittle for me.
