Hiya

I noticed that another advert had been posted to the Newswire. It turns
out that it's from a User ("twistertix" or "chris volante") who has
posted the same stuff 5 times in the past, advertising the same company.

So I have changed the password, the name (to "persistent spammer"),
added a note to the Biography and made the email address publicly visible.

Are folk OK with that course of action? There is a "Delete" button that
could've been used but I was in a "zero tolerance" kind of mood and I
think that this way we are keeping a record of who's doing this and can
therefore see quicker if it starts to happen again.

But if people think that it's over the top, I'm happy to go back and
just Delete the account.
