This problem should be dealt with at the root; if one doesn't like specific words or letter sequences in an account name, then just have the system reject those names and refuse to create the account. Having members manually scan a list and report problems should be the exceptional thing to do, not part of the daily routine the site relies upon. Computers and programming were invented to free people from repetitive tasks.

Yeah not my point
View the profile, there are no reputation points anywhere, every account has at least 1 categorie with points in it (usually these have 300 in Participant.
But this one doesn't.

I did not follow the link, but if it implies wiping and an iPhone, it is Spam and scam

Care to explain why?
There's nothing suspicious on his profile nor any link to a suspicious website.

The name if translated says 'terrorist' and he has no activity. So, I guessed it as suspicious.
There is another in row no-faxing[^], which has loans to sell.
Edit: One more, who has net books deals: netbookblackfridaydeals[^]

Yeah, but the kiddies sometimes use handles like that... And he has no activity because he just joined two days ago. Let him do something stupid first, THEN report him.

That's a pretty good reason to give them the boot. In these days, who would joke with that?

I'm curious, what criteria do you apply to define a spam account? Some are obvious but not all, erikperry4 (yeah I found his post which was obvious) could be a valid user name.

I usually look into their biography and their homepage. The homepage of erikperry4, for example, points to an online shopping site, which is also the homepage of other users that I found(ErikBaker1, and Erriking04 for example).
