And gives us a rosy looking membership!

With Ahruman MIA again, I still think we need one more admin or so to pick off the spammers after we've tagged them.

Rather than removing inactive members, I would much prefer that we had more control over signup, perhaps requiring a pm confirmation that they are a real person before getting posting privileges. That however requires more time investment from admins, which may not be reasonable to expect.

It has been edited by the original poster but new sig includes dodgy links that do "nothing" - a bot/spammer surely?

https://bb.oolite.space/profile.php? ... ile&u=2567 has now confirmed his spam credentials – the pointless but apparently harmless post above has been edited to include dubious links in the sig.

I suggest that that little spamoid finds out the hard way that the friendliest board this side of Reidquat is a very hostile space to fly the spam pirate's flag in.
In other words, exterminate with extreme laser fire.

Foul play over here:

If you have a look at the "homepage" of the "new user" you know what "he" is.

Fire at will ...

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Anything which gives google.com as their own website is a 'bot as far as I'm concerned...

Admins - please nuke!

Strong suspicions about https://bb.oolite.space/profile.php?mode ... ile&u=2583 ... the same user name has today joined several other unrelated forums, without making any posts.

Latest member looks like another one!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Good catch! Get this man a sword somebody!

https://bb.oolite.space/profile.php?mode ... ile&u=2584 needs nuking (come on Admins where are you - the list of targets is stacking up!)

Confirmed here: http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=SwineFlu

Is no bandwagon left unjumped on? :(
