I don't want to close/change anything, because the guy's email is the reporter, and he'll get any updates. Is there a way to mark something as spam so it gets deleted, and so there are no emails sent to the reporter?

If there is, it probably requires Brad to do it.

I've been marking the accounts as spam and moving the bugs to a specific spam product/category.  The last few days have been unusual.  If it keeps up, I'll investigate ways of potentially dealing with it better, but I really don't want to add friction to the signup process.  It's hard enough to get people to report bugs in general, I don't want to make it harder.

Maybe connect a service like https://twitter.com/StopForumSpam ?

Not sure of the requirements for bugzilla spam prevention, but can we just reject any bugs with "quickbooks" in the title?
