Backlink building spam posts

This forum seems to have become a target recently for some "SEO" companies making pointless posts in order to build up backlinks through post signatures.

What's the mods opinions of this? Personally I think if it escalates further, there may become an annoying amount of clutter for genuine users to wade through.

I believe those posts are generally labeled as spam and removed when a moderator can do so.

Yep, have seen a lot in the past weeks

I reported my findings via PM to splittingred, but as of yet no reply and or no changes made to the forum.

To run the risk of being slammed, here are two (in my opinion) spammers:

The following accounts by the looks of things belong to one and the same person with the same type of post content (crud) and they all have pretty much the same profile signature with the same websites in them.

I suggest adding spammers here, so that the forum modrators can see them.

UPDATE:

krishinc - Magento spam

Strange - as all of the content is grammatically extremely similar

Updated the list in my first post - this is simply to bump the topic
