Getting their link distributed is exactly what the operators want, so 
-never- do that.

That's normal - it just means that someone has reported it and it has 
already been deleted.



and has a hyperlink in their bio linking to what seems to be some 
dodgy porn site with the link using openstreetmap.org 
 as a referee in the URL.


Dunno if it's appropriate to attach the URL of said account to this post

There were a few last month: 
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2021-August/014922.html 
and they just seem to have kicked off again.  I've seen reports 
elsewhere and have had a couple myself.


The best thing to do is to click the "report user" button in the user 
profile and report it as spam. The admins tend to delete them fairly 
quickly.

Welcome back!

[talk-au] Friend requests from 'Porn Bots'

[Matthew Davalle]

Having some weird friend requests coming through after submitting
changesets to OSM, one I account was deleted however the second account
still exists and has a hyperlink in their bio linking to what seems to be
some dodgy porn site with the link using openstreetmap.org as a referee in
the URL.

Dunno if it's appropriate to attach the URL of said account to this post
but I was wondering if anybody else has seen dodgy friend requests (It's
the first time I've seen it and I've been mapping for nearly 2 years)

Thanks
