Rather than writing a diary entry suggesting that someone reports the spam that you find, why not report it yourself?

You have mis-read my post; I ask for the spam to be re-moved, not re-ported. If I could remove that user myself then I would do so.

I have not mis-read your post. I am simply suggesting that if you want spam to be removed that you report it somewhere that the admins (who have the ability to delete spam users) will actually see it. Writing a diary entry about it is likely only slightly more effective than pinning a note to a tree in Hyde Park :)

I tried to use IRC as per your earlier comment some months ago & was highly unsuccessful. So far, these diary posts are 100% successful in getting rid of the spam. Good enough for me.
Seems that the people that matter make a point of reading notes on trees in Hyde Park.

There is some irony in pinning permanent notes on trees to complain about other notes on trees which are removed, while the permanent notes stay there forever…
IRC: go to http://irc.openstreetmap.org/; type a nickname (e.g. ‘alexkemp’) in the first box; select #osm (general channel), #osm-dev (development), #osm-gb (Great Britain) in the dropdown; click ‘Login’; type away and ask your question!

Hello Richard
There is one difference between my ‘notes’ & the other ‘notes’: mine arn’t spam (and neither are they complaints they are an attempt to help).
Thanks for the step-by-step on IRC; that’s the kind of thing that I need. I’ll give that another go next time - much appreciated.

Hello Richard 2
If there was a method for me to delete those Posts after they became redundant I would do so (just like if it was possible to edit these comments I would add afterthoughts to the original comment rather than write another).
