Are you regularly googling like this? I can pretty easily recognize a bot with a fake email address and ICQ account, but I'm always at loss with "new members" with funny names if they haven't given either an email or a website. So it would be very interesting to have a different method to recognize them. Bonus points if it would be working for old funny-name-zero-posters as well.Disembodied wrote:Googling the name brings up lots of "our newest member" links to a wide variety of forums

Googling the name brings up lots of "our newest member" links to a wide variety of forums – from the Ohio Mountain Bike Association, via Zombiehunters and SomaliNet to the New Zealand Weather Forum. It's a bot.
Yup ... I copy and paste the name in to Google if there's no trace on SFS. A rash of various "our newest member is" hits is a good sign that it's a bot name that's been plastered around numerous forums simultaneously. For old non-posting members it might not work so well, as you'd lose that immediate link to the front pages of the other forums.Commander McLane wrote:Are you regularly googling like this?

I do the same - works a treat (mostly!)Disembodied wrote:Yup ... I copy and paste the name in to Google if there's no trace on SFS.
