*** NUKED FROM ORBIT ***

Spammer: Invornessesee - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4164

Spam: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=9052


And these two look decidedly fishy:

POOPHYFAPPY - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4160: From the US, but has a website from a Russian (private) school.

beneoumvemied - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4163: From China, but website is the board profile of some NZ guy, the board itself being for a UK football club...


Lastly, Gelabarp - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4165 falls under the no-time-spent-on-board-after-registering rule.

One more: Tonadalnund - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4166: Website NSFW

Let's make it a nice, even half dozen, shall we? exolvezow - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4172: Same no-time-spent-on-board-after-registering as above.

**** ALL NUKED FROM ORBIT - HAVE A NICE DAY - DH ****

And we might as well add

AbsesyPex: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4168

to the list as well. No hits on SFS but Google brings up a bunch of listings on a forum in Arabic ... plus the random collection of letters with a capital in the middle screams "spammer". Every new member from 2028 to 2035 inclusive (as identified by Gimi and CheeseRedux) is a bot, IMO.

Code: Select all

2028 	POOPHYFAPPY
2029 	beneoumvemied		  	  	  
2030 	Invornessesee
2031 	Gelabarp
2032 	Tonadalnund
2033 	AbsesyPex
2034 	exolvezow
2035 	SHEEFSDYDAY

Some of them are a bit on the edge - but as some of them list Oolite as part of their interests, others have their own IT/PC related businesses - they don't show up on SFS or on Google being elsewhere (much) and most of them didn't post but just lurked for a bit after joining - I think we'll leave them for a bit - I'm much more interested in the fresh of the press spammers and the hundreds of inactive members that might suddenly become spammers at any moment!

just nuked pyjubes while it was online - nothing on the email but the IP (with two different email addresses (different before the @, same after it)) hit as I was searching for 'it'.

Just thought I would look for a few older ones as to beat CheeseRedux to it is proving difficult :wink:
Oh, come now. I left out a couple, didn't I? Besides, 'tis not my fault I was the only one awake when they decided to sneak in en masse.

Ever vigilant... when the assassins aren't around, the spotters are... cool.

Here we go again:

Shitsalless (Or should that be 'shitsales'?) - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4207: Dunno what the website is, but it wants to know how old I am. Rude.

alennaSop - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4209: Nothing on SFS. Nothing on Google. No-time-spent-on-board-after-registering rule in effect.

and

elmirandalp: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4216

A sneakier one, this: it's got a profile picture and a sig. But it's made identical posts on a variety of forums, saying (largely at random):

(I've not repeated the original bit.ly link, obviously). But it's a spambot, no error.
