Did you and @garthjlancaster forget to report the user? Mine was the third kick on the article, but the first on the user.

I "forgot" because I'm new at this and didn't realize it was also part of the process.

sorry, guilty as charged, I was in the middle of dinner-prep so took the quick option when a timer went off
I asked above what were the things we needed to do these days, so far I have
1) Message in Spam and Abuse watch, title to include Article && Member ID, body to include Links
2) 'Flag' both Article & Member Profile
anything else you care to add that esteemed Chill60 hasnt ? (I wasn't sure whether to 'Activate' requests etc when somehow I saw that option)

But trying not to do their job, if an article title or the user's name contains the spam, we usually de-spamize it like "Ke-o" for the one that is always spamming the dopping pills.
i.e.
The message below this thread[^] or this one[^] , despamized the subject, but not the body.
Here[^] an example of mine.

yes.
BTW Plagiarist are reported too, but the report of the account is "abuse" not "spam", this way we try to keep the spam filters focused and don't feed them with non related things.
3) If you open the links of a message and they are already nuked, please tell it answering the message and saying "GONE" in the subject. This way we save time for the ones coming behind us. If it is your own message, then edit it to keep the forum load as low as possible, once the messages leave the first page, their survival chances increase (although we try to keep track of it too with the STILL ALIVE messages)
4) If you are not sure about something, just tell it, post the link to the item and the name of the users without link, if more people think it is spam, we can linkify the user afterwards.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

But only if both the spammer and spam have been nuked.

I spoke in plural, meaning every link in the message, but thanks for clarification anyways

You'll have to get your fix of Burt's songs somewhere else.
