Ricky78: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... le&u=13044

Not definitive: this could easily be a genuine profile name. But there's at least one dodgy profile out there of the same name, and a wildcard search on SFS brings up 24 hits for variations on "Ricky7". Worth triple-checking.

Incidentally, I see we lost an older member ... did someone break cover at last?

One to watch...multiple forum profiles including chinese! Most seem innocent though.

Just in case anybody missed Ahruman's posting...

Signing up on the board currently requires one to solve a ReCAPTCHA. I’ve had occasional complaints about this – a few, but not zero. A lot of bots are getting through anyway, and the first-post moderation seems to be working well to catch actual spam, so I’d like to turn it off and evaluate the spam rate over the weekend. Any objections?
Standby for action.

EV and I have said "yup", but as ever, without the tagging, there can be no slicing and dicing...

I will do my bit. Will be on and off during the weekend as I have guests, but will be extra vigilant when online.

Spam hunting is awesome. Just think about the spammer you're killing. Ruining his plans of bothering us... :twisted:
