There appear to be quite a few user accounts that exist solely for the purpose of BEING spam themselves. I found http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/feovoigt25 while searching for something else; account was created over 2 years ago, has no edits; the only thing to the account is the spammy user profile description. Does anyone know how to have accounts like that removed? |

The most effective way seems to be mention it on the IRC channel #osm-dev. Usually accounts of this type create spam diary entries; this one doesn't seem to be doing that. No, it's just sitting there being spam. Another one is http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/skate4feast I'll report it there when I get my IRC client reinstalled. Thanks for the pointer.

Or list on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Spam 1
Except that none of the system admins actually read that page.....

?! Why not ? Is not that the complaint, some directors without a course and no followers ?

@SimonPoole: they do not? Yes, that could really be the case currently. Then please let's ask them to. That would be a more efficient channel than IRC, wouldn't it? (async, batch, targeted to the right people). Update: Tom has taken care of the whole list now.
