Thank you August. I entertained the idea of starting a new thread for this member but merely replied to my last.
TN, moderators, should we create a designated, and sticky, thread for spam to which any member can post if they happen to come across these posts?
I would even be so inclined as to suggest this thread be made the sticky thread with a new title of Spam Reporting (or Spam Watch, etc.). This may lighten the burden of some of the moderators as simply checking this thread would reduce some time spent searching for such spam to remove from their respective forums.
Thank you Aeras. I did try to reach a Mod but they may not have read their PM yet. I think have a spot for members to alert the Mod's could be of some help. ~ August

I have been on holiday most of May, and that is why you may have seen a spate of spams in GD that may have gone unattended. TN was in the know of this, as I had mentioned my absence beforehand to him on a PT, as well as written a note in the mods corners.
Unfortunately, not too many mods are checking in on an everyday basis I think. But when they do, they DO look around other forums.
Kangyut was dealt with before I saw this thread... Thank you for your alertness round QL, it needs it specially now, since most members seem to not come here anymore.

August,
I did not get any PM from you. Did you send it to MBB?

For some reason I thought/got the impression you were on holiday either from here or Facebook. TM seemed to be the most active at the time so I tried to contact him. Sorry Ananya, TM. ~ August
P.S. Ananya how was the holiday, and where did you go? PM me if you would prefer.

Hello once again. I've been a bit prolific in spotting these members lately because I have become diligent in noticing new names (some of which I check, especially ones that appear obviously related to spam activities).
There is another member: Sanuk Cards Thailand
That has recently posted in the I Need a Quote! forum.
His post is related to selling quotations put onto cards and I am not sure if this would distinctly count as spam but I thought I would bring it to your attention regardless.

In addition to my post above, there seems to be a double spam or possible violation of the single user name rule.
The thread Forced contraception of drug addicts in the Debate Forum was originally started by Jonusb.
His first post is obviously spam, revisiting our good friends topics about asian escorts.
There is a single reply by CarlyJasmine that "agrees" with his post and posts an additional link to "drug rehab." I did not visit these links for the potential of malicious software but based on the content of this thread, I feel it is obviously spam.
It is also at this time that I ask for the moderators or administrators to permanently ban the member Jonusb.
He has nine posts on this forum and all are spam posts (one can easily verify this). Based on stated rules in the sites constitution admonishing spam in posts and such statements about no tolerance, I feel this is the only action left against said member.
As per this post I will be private messaging a few of the moderators.
Another spammer has created the thread JorShoes Special discounts in the General Discussion forum.
This member: akomalee, should be warned and the topic deleted.
To those moderators who I PM and assume will eventually look at this thread and my previous (counting this one) four recent posts, please continue to check this thread every time you log in for I will continue to post to it as I happen to notice new spam threads and spamming members.
