Flickr Spam

I got my first Flickr spam today. It was some religious nutter telling me all about their imaginary friend. The account that it came from has no photos, no contacts and no information in the profile. I’ve blocked the user, but I know they’ll just create new accounts.

I really hope that Flickr stamp on this quickly. Orkut become unusable very soon after the spammers found it. I hope Flickt doesn’t go the same way.

Update: Here’s the response I got from Flickr.

We’ve received multiple complaints about this member. We’ve scrubbed the Flickrverse of the spam and deactivated the account.
