@Tony: I read your comment. So, here's another Q:

Why did those NEW members come here? To tell us their personal/company web site? Just look closely at those IDs:

  • Member since: no more than 1H
  • Bio: a single link and/or some "personal info"

I kindly suggest that you (admin group) block that section from engine providers - only logged in users can view that info. That's it, and that would proactively stop hidden forum spammers. 

Thanks guys.

Thank you Tony.

Notify a moderator link is the best way, if it’s a post. This thread is more for User Account spam. In their profile, that is.

I never knew this section was here! I've been busy the past few days 'notify-ing a Moderator' about someone selling furniture in the Tech Outpost. Nothing more I should do as far as I can see.

PS The Moderators acted swiftly so if you want to buy some furniture, it's too late!

How is that spam? I looks like a blog.

The following page or info box can help keep those forum spammers away from Norton Forums, effectively and proactively.

"Hey, Google/Yahoo!/.../other search crawlers! You are not authorized to access (view) this (user) page".
