user gone, advertisement still there

[jdv]

Look at the goal, increase my height (http://www.43things.com/things/view/266215/increase-my-height) and you should see a "how I did it" entry from edwardwesley13. His account has been nuked, but his advertisement for some scumbag height increaser is still visible. Ditto for happydack. Is it because it's a "how i did it" type posting?

Why are they still there?

What about warrren1, dxgrowtaller on the same goal? Spammy entries still there.

On the grow taller goal, same thing for tobiahS, galeungar, williambernard19, nicolparker, rumblejustin, Calbexraley_01


And since my queue is full: andrewhugs, Jhngrey, lgnumbers, oceanblue27, francois24, eightIncrease23, henrychacha, Redwine2b, DAnny345, davidS445, r8p, satogrowth. Why can I report zillions of goals but I'm limited on users?

Thanks for catching those. That's sort of a bug. I nuked all those users and all the spam entries/HIDIs are gone. Let me know if you find others.

We limit reporting on users since removing a user is a more complicated process than removing a goal, and also more likely to upset the user and/or cause someone to contact us, which increases the need for Customer Support resources (taking away from development time), etc. Hope you understand.

Makes sense - thank you, Joe!

more on this topic: Lami12 is clearly a bad user, posting long strings of links to porn as comments under random goals. While her account is gone, the comments remain. See:
