Hi everyone, can we ban the following user: 3851423 ?
I have been reporting their content as SPAM but they keep coming back and are over the 30 day limit.

Hi @nick, thanks for pointing those out! I've taken care of a couple that only linked to pages. I left one that actually had an answer too. If they continue to post about that page we'll revisit a ban. Thanks again!

We may need to keep a second dumpster around with how bad it's gotten :P

Hi @danj, wow these two were busy! Thanks for catching them. I've taken care of the accounts. Happy Monday : )
@danj Compactor and a dumpster. ;)
Too bad we can't ask Siri about dead bodies anymore otherwise we'd be able to avoid onsite dumping.

Hi @sarahw,
3854994 I think that this user has got to go. See their profile on ifixit answers forum. I’ve also voted for their question on Meta to be removed as spam as well.
First official day of winter here tomorrow and it’s getting cold already. For here anyway. Temps down to 8°C at night, and only up to 18°-19°C and cloudy during the day. brr
Cheers
