Dear BIN Staff,

There is an erroneous buffoon lurking on these pages who goes by the name “goastdale.”  It repeatedly copy/pastes the same extremely long comment, riddled with the same links, on nearly every article I go to.  It never responds to anyone’s replies, and it never posts anything else.  This is the definition of spam.  I have clicked the spam button on it’s posts numerous times, but to no avail.  At this point I feel as though it is necessary for this to be brought to your attention in this manner.

Not only is it’s copy/paste comments extremely annoying to have to scroll past, but it acts as a conversation killer on articles by more than likely causing people to just click the back button instead of scrolling past.  It would be for the benefit of the site to either ban this user or allow them to post articles so the person can just post it once, then spam the link to their crappy article.  This way we would only have to scroll past a small posting of a link.  It would also take up far less space on your server.  It’s getting old and tiresome.  What’s the point of the spam button if the amount of clicks to it just floats off into the aether?

Thanks for your consideration.
