Maybe there should be a “mark as spam” or “report user” or similar functionality?

Oh I am sorry this happened to you! I will remove that user right away. Yes, I think we need the ability to mark as spam ASAP. Thanks so much for letting us know, @felwert!

Hello again!

I just wanted to let you know that we’ve implemented some measures to prevent this kind of spam appearing in private messages in the future. Thanks so much for bringing the matter to our attention.

Best,

Nicky
