Spam clean-up list

[Yankee]

.
I thought it might be useful to have a thread in which forum members can post info about (or links to) spam that needs to be cleaned up/deleted in the forums. Anybody who spots spam in the forums can post the info here for moderators. I thought this might make life easier for the mods who have the "enviable" duty of having to spot and then also deal with spam.

I'll start the list off with a new "user" named jocelyn513.

Jocelyn will be easy to spot because she joined today and immediately posted 6 identical spam advertisements.

EDIT:
I see Barb_D has already spotted Jocelyn. Maybe this thread should be called "Aisle 4"

Good idea, Amy !

I found one more spammer, here's the link to his/her (do they really have sex? maybe I'm better off refering to them as it) profile: http://www.english-test.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=10907

Hi Alex

I don't know how you identified that one as a spammer, but I do know that there are quite a few new "members" who signed up around the end of July with, shall we say, exxxtremely suspicious-sounding names. I guess Slava will have to deal with that bunch.

You're welcome, Slava.

I've now sent you (via PM) the list I had made of recent registrations with "dodgy" names. There are quite a few of them. If you need any help deleting this sort of garbage, I would be happy to help with that too.

Dear Amy,
many thanks for your PM and list of spammer names.
I'll use this information in our forum scripts (programming code).
