Based on previous spam messages, I ran a "I recently joined" search query. I found these spammers (there were some more, but I don't list those because their messages also contained "hiii", so they will probably still be reported here by den2k88):

Spam[^] from spammer[^]

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Good call! I did some more searches today and found a whopping 67 more spam/spammers, but I don't recall yours. Nice shots!

I looked for "mi40" (a product), "testosteron*", "estrogen*", "insurance" and... "soldering". You cannot imagine how many with soldering - unbelievable!

Those listed here[^] and here[^].

They're all between 7 and 9 - when they will be kicked I'll post another wave (to which I enjoyed adding other 20 spammers).

Actually this might be a bug on our end. Anything you see with a subsection heading of "Sponsored Article" is permissible. It's *supposed* to have an editorial note on it, saying something like "This article is for our sponsors at CodeProject. These articles are intended to provide you with information on products and services that we consider useful and of value to developers." But that note seems to be missing. I've manually put back the note and we'll get this fixed.

Thanks,

By the way, when you post a spam report, it's a good idea to post a link to the spammer - as most times us Protectors will delete the spam material ASAP, and without the link to the member they are harder to kick in the head... Laugh | :laugh:
