mtlelt has spammed the site (and reported by community) several times this year. March 5, 5 reported posts.  April 18, 2 reported posts.  Sept 6, 6 reported posts.  He/she is back at it again.

What's the point in reporting these spammers if they aren't blocked from posting again?

    Elizabeth, I was wondering the same thing -- especially if the person is using the same username.  Maybe after a certain number of removed posts, the computer issues an automatic "ban" but it isn't permanent.

    Seems like a human could step in and take care of the problem, though.

    Thank you Konakat! And why are the threads they start with headlines intended to sell not deleted. I wrote a post about this on this forum ("Discount Nike shoes, etc."). The mammography guidelines forum is full of spam. Surely it could all easily be deleted?
