No, the name is sufficient for the admins to determine if a spammer has been deleted and then the user number reassigned to a genuine number. We will delete innocent names from your posting once innocence established.
Our opinions differ on this - I would delete the username and the user number/link.

Actually, that's Big D flying solo - two in the ACP at once is daft!

Very true! Thanks for the elbow room ... :D

It really seems to come in waves these days. There are times when the "Number of users online" rises up past 50 or 60, you just know there are spambots battering at the gates. When the bots all but died away earlier this year, I had thought that Google's Panda Slap had killed off content spamming, but apparently it's still worthwhile to some of the vermin out there. Either that, or people now pay to spam-link to competitors' websites, to bring down the Panda Slap on them. Or maybe it's just that The Stars Are Right.

Heh, this one's username raised an eyebrow, as did the image it tried to post - qqwiki.alioth.net (now deceased, of course).
