I don't know how useful/active this website is but I stumbled across it yesterday when investigating the logs of my own website:
http://www.botscout.com
Essentially, it's a database of known spam bots. I guess it's not that useful if these are actual humans registering. Anyway, thought I'd post a link.
EDIT: here's another one that a quick Google search just revealed:

... and while I'm in an uncharitable mood, I think this is a spammer too. There are a very large number of "sumaniuot" memberships out there in forumland, and nearly all of them are single-post, "Hi, I'm new here" types.
Interestingly, I see it tried to edit its one and only post here (dated 25 October) on 9 November – presumably to try to add a link.

Hi Darkbee… SFS is already well used here, but the other link may be helpful… thanks.
Uncharitable on St Andrew's Day, Disembodied... who'd have thought it.

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Back again ... although now I'm having doubts. The name makes me massively suspicious but there are various forums around the place that carry posts from a person/people using the same name, e.g. here. Although most, if not all, seem to be about finance in some respect, they don't seem to be your typical spambot output. I leave it to DH and EV to decide: that's why they get paid the big bucks.

Sshh… don’t tell them that.Disembodied wrote:I leave it to DH and EV to decide: that's why they get paid the big bucks.
A tricky one this… as Disembodied says, the name screams ‘spammer’, but there’s no actual evidence, as such. He/she/it is a member on another game forum (the exception from the other forums, which are all financial), but has made no posts, in over a year. A few posts show some knowledge of Linux… even the IP address is clean, according to SFS. Still… I have to agree with DH, I think. If you’re reading this, tradetaxfree, don’t be offended… come talk to us (or e-mail me in my sig).
