Spam!! Something Close to Home

I Have recently added two new members to contacts here at Apsense after getting requests.
The thing is they are now using my contact as a list! After sending a reply to them requesting that they refrain from using the only area of constructive communication as an extension to the way they advertise!!!
They have sent repeat ads after replying in plain English!
We will see if it happens again?
Come on You lot, I don't need spam if you need to Advertise there are plenty of options on this site!!
I Know this happens on many social networks as I have tried to deter members from doing the same on others in the past.
How would you control the contact from spamming by the very newest members?

For 3 weeks now I have had offers for contact from 2 new members. I like making friends in this business and helping people but it really does help when they actually have a profile!!
It is not hard to type a little about yourself and find a picture to show just who you are.
These requests have not gotten any bigger.
If you are not prepared to reveal who you are I don't see any reason for contact at all
Especially with an empty profile?
How do you feel about these anonymous contacts?
I find it most annoying and a waste of valuable space here on Apsense.
Come on people if you start an account finish it off we all want to know who you are!!
