User marked as Spammer still shows "About me" spam in profile

[Thomas P]

Hi mates,

as it seems the "About me" section of a member profile shows all the added text and links, i.e. Spam, even after marked as spammer.
All posts and thread are hidden automagically but not the profile spam stuffing. So I guess our beloved spammers managed to bypass our spam measures...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Thomas

The profile is visible and accessible to anyone. You’ll have to edit their profile to remove the information you judge spam.

You didn't get it. Any clickable urls in the profile, added by the owner, should be hidden on mark as spammer. That would be awesome then.

[Adriano Faria]

It should. It isn’t. That’s what I meant.

Profile content isn't currently removed as a part of this. You're more than welcome to provide this suggestion in our Feedback forum.

Will do so.

Meanwhile I took out the permissions for guests to view member profiles, which is our temporary workaround to that.

Hi,

an update from my side - got to know this Add-On to hide a spammer's profile with possibly stuffed "about me" or other spammy profile info:

Block Banned Member Profiles - Applications - IC Essentials (ic-essentials.com)

Works well and does what it should, I like and recommend it.
