Launchpad itself

Huge SPAM attack on launchpad answers

Asked by Manfred Hampl

The spammers have again started their nuisance.
Can somebody please block the following users and delete their "questions":

These are already blocked, but some of their documents are still visible:

https://launchpad.net/~dfdsfsdfgfsd
https://launchpad.net/~jon002

Furthermore I stumbled over the following projects that seem to have been created just for the purpose of promoting links to other web pages and do not have any real content on launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/edbtopstconvertertool
https://launchpad.net/vertika-exchange-edb-to-pst-converter
https://launchpad.net/exchange-edb-to-pst-converter
https://launchpad.net/convertedb2pstfile
https://launchpad.net/free-edbtopst
https://launchpad.net/fixexchangeserveredb
Should they be kept or deleted?

The spammers never stop, but in this case a few things slipped through the filter. I've cleaned them up.

Thank you very much.

I confess that I do not know how many of these spam messages the Launchpad admins delete in their daily routine. I am just nagging if there is too much garbage slipping through the filters.
