OK, I stand corrected. I had gotten the impression it was everyone when ToSeek changed the setting so banned/suspended users are visible in the list.

Um, calling ToSeek's posts spam isn't very nice!I suppose the mods are leaving the above spam post in for the irony about which thread it was posted in
See, silly things like that happen if you post about spam, instead of simply typing "spam" in the report post thingy (as others did in this case). I know you know this, but others might be reading this thread.

There was a spam post posted, it somehow got approved, and now it has been deleted and the spammer has been banned.
As the zebra police said in the Gary Larson cartoon, move along folks, nothing to see.

I know, it's just that the irony that this one spam post that got through should, of all places, end up in a thread called "imposter warning" seemed funny enough to make the remark. I figured that, even after it got deleted and especially with Swift's reply, people would still figure it out.Um, calling ToSeek's posts spam isn't very nice!

The problem was with a particularly stupid add-on claiming to search engine optimize the urls to pages, but which was broken by design in several nasty ways including that different user names folded to the same profile page url which was how that trolling worked.
That [stuff] has thankfully been pulled so that trick doesn't work anymore.
