Looks like someone didn’t read my How to Market on Flickr guide. Tsk-tsk.

And how stupid do you have to be to link to all your spammy profiles at every other social site? Obviously a rookie spammer.

Flickr Spam

Update, Sunday afternoon: I submitted that profile via Flickr’s “report abuse” form, and just about 16 hours later, the account has been killed. Nice.

I haven’t found too much spam, but I do find WAY too much p0rn for a site like that… How can people not report the profile?
