Squashing the spam in "All" Projects

Subtitle this one “instant and lingering regret” because I had no clue what I was getting into when I offered offhand to make a list… never let it be said I don’t do what I say.

I did these by User Names, because some are multiple offenders, and others have unopenable project pages (the projectname url parser fails)

I’ve got 3 lists…

Awesome! We removed a lot of these yesterday. I truly hope this makes the project discovery experience better in the short-term as we also work on some mid and longer term changes as well.
