Um, I think the usual protocol is to report the post.

Worst case scenario: PM one of the Moderators.

Removing the account won't help. It is really easy to just register again

I'm suprised that companies actually sink so low to do this (set up spam on a help forum)

I guess with all the publicity fedoraforum has been getting recently (becoming official Fedora support forum), it will start becoming a prime suspect

It might be better to set filters for certain works such as 'free' 'samples' 'insurance' 'debt' ....
If I remember, they already have filters up for swear words, such as b*tch

LOL, I remember that one...and yes, maybe I should read up on protocol again. I think the thread did disappear.

Ah, I see it now, top right hand corner of the post..."Report Post".

Yes, this is the best method as then all moderators and administrators will get mail about it immediately. Thank you for reporting that. I removed those threads.
