How do we know any of these are actually spam since there are no messages?

Here's the link to one I have not psoted yet - all of them have the same similar format, with payload in the Signature, "hiii" or "hiiii" as "message" and posted between May and July '12
Linkity[^]
they all have 1 message and the subscription date matches with the only message sent. Also the names have mostly the same format, short female names and surnames.

Me and Griff were clearing spam he was pointing to. So within minutes, no one was able to see the messages.
All the messages contained just 'hiii' and spam in signature and that pattern has been approved as spam by Chris.

That gives me a good idea. Perhaps I'll suggest to Chris that CP play the sound of an explosion when marking something as SPAM.

Not just in the signature - this message[^] has no spam link, but the profile[^] has a dodgy-looking home-page.
And no, setting your profile picture to an attractive young lady doesn't give you a free pass to post spam!

Now I know your secret, I can get a head-start on reporting the next truck-load of spammers. 
A search for "hiii" in messages turns up loads of spam in the spammers' personal forums. It's the same trick I noticed back in November (starting here[^] and going on for a couple of pages).

"hii*" gives off anything
But I already have the text file with the posts and the spammers, I only need to copy-paste them!
It took me 3 hours straight 
EDIT: I followed your link and found the spammer still alive! I delivered the 10th kick and killed him on the spot. YAY it's my first confirmed kill!

I think i have new friend. He's name is: "serial downvoter". I really like him, because of his job:

I upvoted, countering 12 his clicks with one of mine. Not that 2*n clicks can really affect your reputation, but what's plainly wrong... is wrong!

That's actually quite interesting how you got the downvote. I'm not able to downvote your message or anybody else's message in this forum even if I'd want to (don't worry I don't want to downvote messages).
In Spam and Abuse Watch forum all the downvote buttons are disabled for me while I can downvote in Q&A, articles etc...
So is it just me who can't downvote or how did you get the vote

He reported as spam/abuse, it is related to the line above!

Oh, I see, but still. -16 Is that the decrease for a reported abuse? I believe that a single person can make a report on a single message only once

It is scaled by a multiplier dependant on the level of the downvoter.
For example a Platinum debator has 8 as multiplier, so its -2 is multiplied by 8 => -16.
If I upvote someone I give him 24 points, downvoting I take him away 16, because I'm platinum. A gold member has a multiplier of 4, and silver of 2.

Mika,
You can up/down-vote message.
Have a look on the left side of message frame (move mouse-cursor to hover that frame). There you'll find 2 arrows: the green one is for upvote and the gray one is for downvote.
Cheers,
Maciej

Nope, when I place the mouse over the upvote everything works but when I hover over the downvote button (the gray one) a tooltip show and says: "downvoting not available".
Well I'm not going to miss it but I'm wondering just out of curiosity

To be honest, i never used down-vote option. I see it now, it's inactive.
|
|
|
|

Upvoted!

I get many as well, specially as rage for "that is not an article". As it seems downvoting is a good "revenge" for whatsoever it pissed them off
