Smells like processed meat product to me...
« on: 18 July 2011, 05:11:25 AM »
I've noticed a number of posts over the last three or four days that appear to be spambots or spammers of some sort.

They make short one-line posts to existing threads with gross grammatical mistakes (worse than the usual errors in English, to the point where they often make no sense...) and if you check the "homepage" they have under their name (the globe icon) it's always a spam site offering you cheap shoes, cheap dresses, cheap purfume or similar.

Oh, and they're often 23 years old, according to their profile.

This guy, for example: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=5147
(he appears to be advertising Air Jordan shoes...)

He's here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=29464.msg371236#msg371236

He's also pitched up here, appropriately enough in a thread started by a really obvious spammer: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=31221.0

Here's another, this one advertising bridal dresses: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=5148

deleted them.

And changed the registration rules, from now on all the new memberships have to be approved by me before they will be able to post.

Good, I have reported a few of these, but they have become more common of late.......  >:(

ha ... I know these "cheap jordan shoes" from tabletop-welt also (killed them spam-users and their posts a lot in my mod-time (anno 03 ^^) ... I think, in bigger forums there is just one solution, let 'em come and delete as quick as they rise ... it just happens from time to time ... sorta comming in waves, that

But as long as it is possible to controle the "newbies" ... I am with you
