If you find a spammer, see if the user number isn't already reported for deletion but not marked with an asterisk.

The astersk is Ahruman's deletion confirmation. Once deleted, the number is free to be recicled to another user, which means that the 1860 you reported will become available again and possibly taken by another spammer.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

And one day, Grasshopper, you may aspire to the exalted ranks of the Intergalactic Spam Assassins. Or end up as a <insert humourous prefix here> Clock-Tower Nutter, like myself.
