I think this image was posted by spammer by editing the main post..as this was not the original post when I first show it.

Thanks,

Indeed, the original post was altered by one of the accused spammers. I've reverted that change. I've also blocked the users (some of whom were already blocked) and deleted comments. There might have been an argument to be made that the node was asking for recommendations and the comments simply offered recommendations, but trying to erase the claim of spam is not the way to make that claim, and all three accounts appear to belong to the same person, so this is all a misuse of the site, whether or not it's not strictly spam.

With frequent spamming by the same people, i believe this will take lot more time and effort and will eventually stop people from reporting spam

saitanay, you can now sign up here to flag spam directly with no issues: http://groups.drupal.org/node/266598

Either do that or open new issues, but do not re-open closed issues.
