It helps if you add "i-am-mad" to your ignored tags.

Same here. Hopefully someone from SO is watching and will take action.

I hope Jeff addresses this problem tomorrow in a blog post or something. It's pretty obvious that when it came down to it, the tools provided to the community for removing offensive content were no match for the spammer.
Kyle Cronin
The tools were perfectly adequate. People were fighting tooth and nail to "offensive" the posts and close them but all it really required was a click on the "contact us" link at the bottom of every page, stating clearly what the problem was. Try find the 2pac user on the users tab now. It's gone.

What I'm saying is that it was only a temporary inconvenience. Use that down-time to go spend some time with the family or go get some fresh air :-)

Perhaps, but Jeff has repeatedly said that he doesn't scale, so I would hope that there would other people or methods in place besides sending him an email and hoping he's not asleep.
