Back on topic - four of the bloody things nuked this morning...

Ah, deep fried spam...

Yeah, I saw that in the log... they seem to come in waves... hey-ho.

Check out the inactive users list - I cleared out today's joiners out at lunchtime that were inactive but definitely spambots-in-waiting. We've had 20 more since then - I'll guarantee that they're all spambots - but I'm too depressed and busy to clear them out at the moment... We're a tiny island sanctuary in a sea of spam...

(I'm also compiling a list of IPs from SFS of members/bots that have joined - so perhaps Aegidian can potentially block their IPs)

The registering IP had 63 hits on SFS - I've added it to my naughty list...

All over SFS like a rash (which is what you'll get from Klskdvlmkd, above)

The funny thing is that if he would've posted here we perhaps wouldn't even have noticed.

six of the ruddy things lined up to be shot this morning - the integrated reCaptcha of this version of php does seem more prone to breaches...

Yep... flying plenty of sorties. I've even noticed a few that have avatar pics.

I noticed that too. Sneaky buggers - that's almost like flying under a red cross....

I splashed one the other day just as it dropped it's load... it had the sheer effrontery to say how much it liked Oolite, and what a great job was being done.
That was followed by several links to 'movie' sites. A sweet kill, that one... but the nerve!

Could be wrong but I have strong suspicions here: the weird occupation and sporting interest that makes me think "spammer".
