We don't allow these on our communities. They're an abuse of the system, and they'll be removed once someone with the appropriate tool access notices them.

I generally trawl all the new user pages for spam accounts every couple weeks and nuke whatever spam accounts I find. There are some moderation tools in development that will allow users to flag profiles, so once that goes live that will be the way to report such profiles.

Until then, there's no real way to report them; you can either wait until an admin notices them or you can always drop into chat and mention it there.
