Occupation: Non-profit organization management. How cute.
Sadly, I'm now reaching the point where I recognise the themes in name types used by persistent offenders - and 'keven' here is one of them... :(

edit: I was right 21st Nov - 2/3rd way down page 98 - Grrrrrr! :evil:

Spamming tends to work on the blunderbuss principle ... it's not really what you might call "targeted marketing". :)

While we're on the subject:

This is a problem I identified some time ago and it's why I always "name" my targeted spammer because Ahruman comes along, looks at the list, kills the 'bot - the ID becomes available again and an innocent is given the same membership ID - Starbug67 was not the 'bot that Disembodied initially tagged, but he has been given the same membership ID... :roll:

No, no, Starbug67 is perfectly all right! He just happened to join after the spammer 2797 was deleted, and got the recycled membership number. The original spammer was something calling itself "Tolopanets" and has already been crushed to an asterisk by the Big A ...

Edit -- DH beat me to it!
