I noticed you'd banned gmail.org (http://whois.domaintools.com/gmail.org) and hotmail.org - is that the entire domain? Is hotmail.org not a genuine M$ one? (or is it that we're getting a flood of spammers coming from it and therefore genuine or not it has to go?)

Hotmail.org is real, but it’s just a web redirect. There is no DNS MX record. We had about a dozen nonsense-name accounts associated with it.

Another one making me twitch ...

pgvw: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4882

again, no firm evidence, but googling "Viewing profile - pgvw" (no quotes) does throw up some nasty stuff in some of the site summaries. It might just be an unfortunate coincidence though: "pgvw" seems to be young-person-type text-speakery for "pageview". In MY day, we used vowels.

Well yes, one doesn't want to alienate the youth (for they are the future) but they make it so difficult sometimes to identify themselves as human.

Kind of like a reverse Turing test.

Ghevat test? Maybe? Where the human tried to respond in a way, a badly programmed computer would?

No queries here – it's an out-and-out link farmer that's just decloaked.

This one came online when I was around before - at that time IP and email were OK on SFS - will check back later - just in case...

As a moderator I noticed there was a payload from a spammer waiting to be approved when I logged on this morning - I'm presuming only Moderators can see these posts?

Good - the system will work then - as it shows up for me as an unread post when I click on the "view unread posts" link
