Hey Cap'n, how do you know this one is a bot, apart from the stupid name?
Now, O grey-haired one, are you refering to the present user 1770 (Stainless Steel Rat), or the previous one (a jumble of random letters with a porn site quick-linked to it's www address)?

The shiny stainless one. So when you put up 1770 as a spambot was it the pron site or Mr shiny! The reason I asked was because I only saw it as Stainless Steel Rat, which looked a bit suspicious, but with no website link, and nowt being stranger than folk, I wasna sure!

It would have been the porn one, look for the "*" in posts on this thread to see if Ahruman has dealt with the offender. I personally wouldn't have tagged Mr Steel Rat as spam as, for starters, his name makes sense, as well as there being no dodgy link in his/its profile and I'm sure that the Capt would have been of the same opinion.

And the fact that s/he has also made two non-spam posts on the boards is a dead giveaway.....:wink:

FYI: The Stainless Steel Rat is a character from a series of books by Harry Harrison IIRC.

And, from my favorite tactician, another important maxim:

You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

This one seems to have slipped through the net, unless his website has been hijacked.
