Email is flagged on SFS, multiple forum registrations today, suspected PM bot. Anyone receiving PMs from this account, please ignore and don't click on links.
Are you regularly googling like this? I can pretty easily recognize a bot with a fake email address and ICQ account, but I'm always at loss with "new members" with funny names if they haven't given either an email or a website. So it would be very interesting to have a different method to recognize them. Bonus points if it would be working for old funny-name-zero-posters as well.Disembodied wrote:Googling the name brings up lots of "our newest member" links to a wide variety of forums

Googling the name brings up lots of "our newest member" links to a wide variety of forums – from the Ohio Mountain Bike Association, via Zombiehunters and SomaliNet to the New Zealand Weather Forum. It's a bot.
Yup ... I copy and paste the name in to Google if there's no trace on SFS. A rash of various "our newest member is" hits is a good sign that it's a bot name that's been plastered around numerous forums simultaneously. For old non-posting members it might not work so well, as you'd lose that immediate link to the front pages of the other forums.Commander McLane wrote:Are you regularly googling like this?

Already tagged there, after a long discussion because of the before mentioned posts. That is why I was aware of the name when I saw it here.El Viejo wrote:Did you tag it on your other forum?
