PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING SPAM
Distinguish between the following, and flag the highest level of the violation:
-- Type 1: Irredeemable commercial spam: make sure to flag the member's profile, as well as the spammy activity. This type includes things selling strollers, pharmaceuticals, live-streaming sports games, porn, and/or trying to create traffic/links to sites for such things. Sufficient profile flags will automatically result in temporary suspension and deletion of the member's activity, so use your profile-flagging powers wisely and carefully.
-- Type 2: Teachable moments: DO NOT flag the member's profile, but DO flag the violating activity (e.g. self-promotional Talk post, group, or local venue). This type includes promotional activity that violates the Terms of Service (TOS), but where the member is potentially redeemable, e.g. overzealous authors, overzealous publishers, or other members with small TOS violations but who are otherwise using the site legitimately. These cases should be reported to staff (by sending a message or email to staff and/or or posting on this thread), so the member can be taught how to use the site.
Specific procedures:
-- Overzealous authors or publishers (these fall under type 2): do NOT flag the member's profile. Report to staff here or privately. You can also send the member a polite message pointing them to the terms, mentioning the "no promoting" language, and pointing them to the Do's and Don't page for authors: http://www.librarything.com/about_authors.php
-- Suspected sock-puppetry to promote a book, write fake reviews, and/or stack ratings: do not flag the profile, but report to staff here or by message, so staff can investigate. This is a serious violation for which members can be permanently banned.
-- Profile flags for commercial spammers only (type 1): On the member's profile page, click on the "report for spam" link, then follow instructions to flag the member. Again, this is only for commercial spam, not for "overzealous" authors, publishers, or booksellers, which should be reported to staff instead. See Talk post: http://www.librarything.com/topic/85810
-- Spam or promotional posts in a Talk topic (type 1 or 2): flag the post as an abuse of the terms of service.
-- Spam or promotional groups (types 1 and 2): flag new groups using the "flag this group" link.
-- Spam lists: report in this thread, and flag the member if it's commercial spam.
-- Spam works (type 1 spam): flag the work as spam on the work's editions page, and then vote on proposed work spam. Make sure to read the guidelines before proposing or voting, especially for what is not spam. Voting page: http://www.librarything.com/spam_works.php
-- Spam in a review (type 1), or an explicitly promotional review (type 2): flag the review as an abuse of the TOS, using the red flag.
-- Spam or promotion in "published reviews," or other CK fields (type 1 or 2): post here and/or delete.
-- Spam or egregious promotion/advertising in venues or events (type 1 or 2): post here and/or delete. Note that authors are permitted to add events for their books.
-- Spam in book links / quick links: post here and/or edit to remove spam.
-- Spam author names listed on a work: No current procedure. Tim has asked us not to change CK to indicate spammers, and not to combine spam authors together.
-- Not sure if it's spam? Post here, and explain why.
Please note that Tim has asked us not to use either CK or the combining system (whether works or authors) for spam fighting.

I'd be thrilled if you take the time to give me a kind review. Don't forget I am only eight and I write for kids just like me.
Yes, it states that he is eight yo, but on his LT profile there is no mention of his age. Can we still flag him?

24-26, etc.: if the member is underage, then that's against the TOS, but handled by staff via email rather than through the flagging system.
However, I suspect in this case the member is actually the child author's parent or other family member, promoting the books of several children/ family members. In that case, it would be "teachable moment" overzealous promotion (and the age of any authors being promoted would be irrelevant).

>39 Jarandel: I notice the last one has been a member since "Dec 23, 2007" but apparently never listed any books. Did they really wait that long to spam, was a legitimate profile hijacked or is there a way to change the joined date?
ETA: The next to last joined "Mar 11, 2013".

Yeah, so much old crap. Drive-by profile spam is unlikely to get noticed; some spammers go on to spam other parts of the site, but some just join, post a link, and move on.

Any advertising of books is spam in my opinion. This is not one of the few places where that is allowed.
The group description says: Do you review books on LT or elsewhere? This is a list on the what, how and why of reviewing.
Not a word there about being a place to find reviewers.

Can some fellow spam fighters who are also active in flagging & voting on image upload violations (not a picture of the venue, of the author, etc.) help with this one? 3 times, a member has uploaded a picture of his book to the venue. We've blocked each other as his comments were becoming increasingly belligerent, and obviously he's made it his mission to use the site for personal gain. Thus, if you could vote for its removal, that would be great. If you don't, how about at least having a look at the member/author to avoid?

He obviously does not care that he is violating the guidelines for uploading venue images. AND he was warned by Loranne that he'd be suspended if he kept doing it. He kept doing it.
So flagging him now is, I believe, warranted.
