Whilst I agree that spammers need to be covered in honey and roasted slowly for all eternity, I just had a look through about 5 random pages of his/her stories and think that they are actually quite well balanced submissions, and hardly any spam. In fact I just dugg a story about Scarlett Johansen that I didn't know about. As for the orginal spammer this story is about, well looks like the account has been suspended.
I can still access it just fine.At least with this story, we can bury all of his stories easily.BAM! Just buried his first two pages worth in less time it took for the edit box to disappear...efficient!
The worst users are the morons that always find a way to be the first to comment on a submission, only to have their comment voted down due to its immature stupidity. By the way, where did the captcha go? Hmmm, the word captcha is not in Digg's dictionary.
I don't think this is his first account either. A couple of weeks ago I came across a guy who'd submitted hundreds of stories, all battery ads for the same on-line site. I marked four or five pages worth of his submissions as spam before I got bored. I don't know if that drew the attention of a moderator, but that username has been banned, and his submitted stories deleted (not just marked buried).
"I'll never understand why you can only block people from their comments. Their should be an option in their profile, so you can just block these jackasses and not see their stories in the upcoming anymore."If everyone banned, say, the top 30 users, well they wouldn't be the top 30 users anymore would they?Damn.

Here's another one ...<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/users/stefanoprea/news/submitted">http://digg.com/users/stefanoprea/news/submitted</a>The site he's submitting belongs to the biggest news paper in our country. What a shame!

How the hell did he/she submit two stories with the exact same link? I thought you couldn't do that.

"I don't care if you're a human or a bot if you submit interesting stories."Maybe so, but in this case the Indian Film Industry =/= interesting

Found another one ...its about user called MindVirus <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/users/MindVirus/profile">http://digg.com/users/MindVirus/profile</a> The speed of which this user submitted stories seems like an extra-human activity and very suspicious.
