*** NUKED FROM ORBIT ***

Spammer: Invornessesee - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4164

Spam: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=9052


And these two look decidedly fishy:

POOPHYFAPPY - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4160: From the US, but has a website from a Russian (private) school.

beneoumvemied - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4163: From China, but website is the board profile of some NZ guy, the board itself being for a UK football club...


Lastly, Gelabarp - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4165 falls under the no-time-spent-on-board-after-registering rule.

One more: Tonadalnund - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4166: Website NSFW

Let's make it a nice, even half dozen, shall we? exolvezow - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4172: Same no-time-spent-on-board-after-registering as above.

**** ALL NUKED FROM ORBIT - HAVE A NICE DAY - DH ****

And we might as well add

AbsesyPex: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4168

to the list as well. No hits on SFS but Google brings up a bunch of listings on a forum in Arabic ... plus the random collection of letters with a capital in the middle screams "spammer". Every new member from 2028 to 2035 inclusive (as identified by Gimi and CheeseRedux) is a bot, IMO.

Code: Select all

2028 	POOPHYFAPPY
2029 	beneoumvemied		  	  	  
2030 	Invornessesee
2031 	Gelabarp
2032 	Tonadalnund
2033 	AbsesyPex
2034 	exolvezow
2035 	SHEEFSDYDAY

Some of them are a bit on the edge - but as some of them list Oolite as part of their interests, others have their own IT/PC related businesses - they don't show up on SFS or on Google being elsewhere (much) and most of them didn't post but just lurked for a bit after joining - I think we'll leave them for a bit - I'm much more interested in the fresh of the press spammers and the hundreds of inactive members that might suddenly become spammers at any moment!

Quick-draw DH... cool.

just nuked pyjubes while it was online - nothing on the email but the IP (with two different email addresses (different before the @, same after it)) hit as I was searching for 'it'.

Just thought I would look for a few older ones as to beat CheeseRedux to it is proving difficult :wink:
Oh, come now. I left out a couple, didn't I? Besides, 'tis not my fault I was the only one awake when they decided to sneak in en masse.

Ever vigilant... when the assassins aren't around, the spotters are... cool.

Here we go again:

Shitsalless (Or should that be 'shitsales'?) - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4207: Dunno what the website is, but it wants to know how old I am. Rude.

alennaSop - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4209: Nothing on SFS. Nothing on Google. No-time-spent-on-board-after-registering rule in effect.

and

elmirandalp: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=4216

A sneakier one, this: it's got a profile picture and a sig. But it's made identical posts on a variety of forums, saying (largely at random):

(I've not repeated the original bit.ly link, obviously). But it's a spambot, no error.
