How to report LiveJournal spam accounts
Hi, I'm 
campylobacter, and spam on LiveJournal enrages me.
Do you need help dealing with an LJ account that has left a comment advertising spammy stuff in your LJ? You know, "unsolicited commercial" junk such as:
I created this community so that there's a central location for illustrated, detailed tutorials I've created about:
How to Report a LiveJournal Spam Account
How to Lock Out Further Comments to a LiveJournal Entry
etc.
If you would like to help fight LJ comment spam, feel free to join this community to post the name of spam accounts so that others can help report it. Maybe if we can gather reliable spam reports from trusted LJ members, LiveJournal admin will be quicker to delete the spambots. Ha ha!

WHAT THIS COMMUNITY DOES NOT DO
This community is NOT concerned with LJ accounts which are sock puppets, trolls, cyber bullies, or stalkers. For harassment problems, reporting sock puppets, trolls, cyber bullies, or stalkers as spam is the least effective method; filing a report with the LJ Abuse Team is the most direct method. Please refer tobullying_begone for more advice regarding those issues.
