Ah, deep fried spam...

Yeah, I saw that in the log... they seem to come in waves... hey-ho.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

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)

Yeah... I saw that.

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

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".
