I'm not sure if I'm supposed to report to an admin.. seems like scams are kind of treated as laisez faire here, but maybe i'm wrong?

hi_i_am_a_nerd already has a bad reputation, and he's sending me a link to some website that appears to be a wallet phisher.

[2014-06-14 23:40:36] Emka Bujnova: Because you cannot know nothing about bitcoins then.

This is a scam for 100%

Yeah, it's not like you can get a bad report for it either. That guy has been spamming PMs to many people. Had a few complaints about him already so I'm sure he will be banned if he hasn't already.

If it's malware, or someone impersonating another (ie theynnos, Spondoolies-Tech', etc) then yes. Unsolicited pm's advertising services are also considered spam, scam or not. If you aren't sure then report it, there's no downside.
