It will do.

The first two were banned earlier, the other two (there were only 4 there, one is a duplicate) were still working but are banned now.

I suspect all this is coming from one location

see http://files.myopera.com/rfhurley/files/blogSpam.jpg

and it would be a good idea to check IP addresses, because the volume of this spam is increasing.

I'm not sure ... far as I can tell those posts are all blank. confused

They have those provocative titles you quote, but when I look at any of them there's no text, no pictures (good thing too) - they're all blank. confused

The following status message on the community page caught my eye

Czech Easter... Prague is Beautiful in Every Season... Visit the Heart of Europe


The blog

http://my.opera.com/hotel-prague/blog/

is treading right on the edge. Some posts are basic tourist info, not spam as such.

But other posts are lists of links to hotel sites with room prices.

Nothing there, I'm not sure what you're talking about. You must have been looking at your own blog, johnbols has neither a blog nor a photo album ...

It's just a Spotlight confusion. Johnbols has spotlighted one of your albums, which means there is a link to it on his About page. Clicking on that would take you directly to your pages. There's nothing untoward here.

Incidentally, your hyperlink doesn't work because you've inadvertently added ... to the end of it.

What I see is a brand new member (who hasn't filled in even the most basic of info) trying to get a relatively-established member (who is far from anonymous) banned, without providing any evidence whatsoever. I hope this isn't a new trend.

Wouldn't be a first, some users who have quarrels with others create aliases so they can't be traced back to the original user. Not the biggest hoax we've seen ...

I'll give him a chance to clean it up, it doesn't look like he was trying to be offensive. If it's not cleaned up in a decent time then he's gone.

I believe this blog's user is spamming people. I've responded to it
as it seems a simple, good willed blog, however, as the comment I gave
and thought was very well mannered and would be helpful for someone
managing a blog with such an apparently kind purpose was erased, and
since they are advertising something ridiculuous, and another person has
already complained on their page, I hope I'm not wrong in reporting it .
