Given the sudden onrush and the time of registration, please have a look at this on as well.

@ Rese, I think I've already tagged that one. Good to have you on board spam-spotting. BTW, It helps the Master Assassins if you can give both username and profile URL.

Oops.

EDIT: Sniffing at (https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... le&u=19140). Sent a PM, he/she/it was online when I spotted.

UPDATE: No response at 0538, message sent at 0503.

(OK)

Hmm... nothing to do with me really, but I don't think that's a good idea at all! Don't be too eager!

Just for curiosity, how do you people suspect that a new entry on BB is a spammer? What are the points that indicate a spammer in the new profile?

@marcusrg: I used previously posted spambots as guidelines.

Hmm... not good! A genuine new member could easily be offended by that sort of cavalier approach!

Good point. I'll cease and desist.

Yes, a good idea. As it happens, quatermass is almost certainly genuine - apologies to quatermass!

Rese249er · Post by **Rese249er** » Sun Aug 19, 2012 10:16 am

Indeed. Sent off a PM apologizing. I'll admit when I've stuck my foot in my mouth!

@ Rese, if that PM you sent has not yet been picked up it could (and should) be deleted I think.
I'm a bit busy right now, but I'll PM you later with a few tips and guidlines on spam-spotting if that will help.
