Okie, I really dislike spammers, a lot. And, I see that they’re using the COPA member list and it’s URL linking feature to promote their drug websites:
Grr. Note the few links on this first page to various drug sale websites, hawking Levitra and “Strivectin”. Impotence and anti-aging, anyone? By dumping links to their websites, we lend credibility (or, in search engine parlance, “Google Juice”) to them, making their sites more likely to appear when people search. Someone, squish them like the bugs that they are.
(Note to those reading this later: If/when the webmaster fixes this, that list of members will likely NOT contain these links anymore, believe me they ARE (or is it were?) there.)

I go through and purge obvious users like this on an occasional basis, but it’s impossible to
keep up with them all.
… and I just found that the delete user page is broken, crap!
This has been going on for quite a while now, and there have been some creative suggestions by the admins to eliminate it, but so far it has not been a big enough problem to implement them.
