Perhaps chinesepod would be a better place without \\\\\\\\\\\\\\'stanleyuba\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'. I very much doubt he is trying to learn chinese, even if he is using Dr Dre\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s beats headphones, or whatever... Hope the good folk at chinesepod could at least ban him from leaving messages - I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'m sure they violate a \\\\\\\\\\\\\\'fair use\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' policy or something!!

I hope you realise that there have been a number of other spammers over the past week. Why don't you deactivate accounts as a matter of course the moment they post that stuff?

@Right-Wingnut, I just joined the ChinesePod team but fighting against the SPAM is definitely one of my priority. Thanks.

Welcome to the team. Here's hoping a fresh face can fix not only the spam but some of the other ongoing issues. If so, you might get me back as a paying member.

(Talking of which, we had a user who was desperate to cancel her annual subscription before the year expired but has been getting no response from your team. Has she been attended to yet?)

How come there is more spam from the same user?
