Another highly dubious string of numbers and letters. No definite hits elsewhere, but ...

I actually noticed earlier and left it (getting soft in my old age) - if it weren't you EV, who nuked it?

One other brand-new membership out there for this profile name ... add this to the fact that it's a decloaker (joined 7:27 a.m. on Saturday, but hasn't shown up until now) and it's registering pretty high on the spamometer. Worth checking out further, anyway.

jonline3: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=8528

Googling the profile name brings up quite a few links to "online sports betting" and the like. Worth checking further, anyway.

Edit: further checks bring up numerous other practically identical memberships, random "blog" postings etc. under the names of "jonline1", "jonline2", "jonline4", "jonline5" ... at which point I stopped checking. It's a bot of some sort.

intineker - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.p ... ile&u=8535

No question about this one. Bot. Kill.

Location: Москва
Age: 45
Occupation: Продажа сигарет
Interests: Бросаю курить

According to Google Translate, this means its a cigarette salesman from Moscow who's interested in quitting smoking. Likely story.

Cool_Girly2 - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.p ... ile&u=8601

Typical sports fan.

Listen, bud, if you're a 45-year old German whose occupation is to love playing computer games, and whose interest is worldofwarcraft (sic), what in the name of all that is unholy are you doing registering on a space-game forum at 4:14 in the morning? Don't you have a dungeon to loot somewhere?
