Yes - reporting the message helps to train the spam filter, which should then be able to recognise similar spam when it's posted and send it to the moderation queue.

Sorry all, I don't think I can physically do any more reporting of today's manic spam-profile-fest.
The original plan was to review just today's new accounts for spam, but I'm not sure I've even touched the sides.
If anyone wants to pick up the baton, I was using "Who's Who at CodeProject" ordered by "Member Id desc (not available for search)" and I got as far as Member 13183760 working backwards (that's about 73 pages at the moment)
There has been some variation in the stuff that I've found, but the vast majority (from the bot) had a profile that started with
*****************************************************
* COPY & PASTE to DOWNLOAD --> http://tinyurl.com/xxxxxxx
***************************************************** followed by a load of blurb. Each one had a link to whatever dodgy download site they were promoting.
Quite easy to spot.
There's a secondary group of profiles in Polish promoting some holiday company (look for "turysta" and "słoneczny"). Not so many of these and I think they were done manually.
Thanks to everyone who's been following along with the CHill60 Show in Spam and Abuse Watch, I hope you aren't in too much pain
