Spammer Found, Admins Help?

Hey all, dunno if this bothers you or not, but yazookadaj is annoying the crap out of me. He posted in almost every single ad in the leopard gecko classifieds thread to trade for his bearded dragon, in addition to his advertisement, which was placed in the wrong section, for this potential trade.

Now, I don't know what the official rules are on spamming, but this sort of over advertising is a bit ridiculous, especially when the entire post is obviously copy and pasted since it's always addressed to "Karl". Could an admin or facilitator or someone with more authority than measly 'ol me please tell yazookadaj to cut it out? He's probably new and doesn't know any better, but this isn't exactly the best forum etiquette.

See the little triangle with the exclamation point (!) at the bottom left hand corner of their post? Click that to report the thread. It may take some time for a Mod to see this post.

Double posting again, sorry!

Problem is, the exclamation mark isn't showing up in the classifieds. I just checked his profile and there's nothing that I can click on either. I suppose I could just email him myself and tell him of my concern, but I don't have any authority to do that here and I sure don't want to tread on any administrative toes. He's stopped for now, so perhaps the problem has passed?

He's starting to bother me too. He's emailed me three times asking for a trade, and each time I tell him I'm not interested but he keeps on emailing me.

You can report an advertisement by using the 'report product' link.

I just sent the webmaster a message. I'll let you guys know if/when he/she gets back to me!

Have you tried e-mailing the offending party and saying bug off?

Nope, I haven't. I prefer to let the admins deal with spammers since they're the ones most familiar with the rules and have the most pull with people. I've notified people in the past of certain minor violations in other forums and I've had mixed (and not always positive) responses, so yeah, I just pass off the responsibility now.
