This morning's batch:

Dubious, but besides being a 5-minuter, nothing concrete. (Of course I cannot see any attempted posts...):

Out of curiosity, now that the first-post filter is in effect, is there still a point in reporting stuff like the first two? Our katana-wielding compatriots seem to be pretty conscientious in checking up on new arrivals, and it's not like you need a rocket-surgeon to spot them...

A thousand eyes are better than 4.

It's not unknown for a spammer to slip into the shoal because a new member joins shortly after, pushing the spammer off the newest member spot, which is the first thing I look at each time I log on. So yes, is the short answer, keep up the tagging. For example next weekend I'm going to be away for four days, so the katana wielding will be down to EV (and Ahruman who is almost as prolific!)

Ah, yes. But it's a two-click affair to take a far superior look: First Members on the upper right-hand side, then Joined column to get the 50 freshest faces. Any new arrivals with a www attached stick out like a sore thumb. Is what I do, anyway.

****NUKED****

Speaking of what I do, a bit more archeology:
Please be advised that the nature of these are such that I'm not necessarily advocating any action; I just dug them up for a little inspection.

12-minute visitor. Website 3D related. Supposedly has free Wings3D tutorial, but I couldn't find it in the 10 seconds I spent looking for it. Contact email is olblue@, so site most likely belongs to account-maker.

Site appears to be some sort of music related search page. I get fairly local results when going there, so it probably checks IP or something.

Visitation indicates it's a real account. Website is Romanian advertising studio.

1 necropost. Located in Belgium with Italian website. Site unreachable, but the name looks slightly fishy.

3-minute visitor. Games related website. Note that 9th article on front page is about the Drew/Amazon thing. Also note 'Search: 26 results for "oolite"'.

I hereby put forward the motion to officially induce CheeseRedux in the clocktower.

Give the man a spam assassin badge, please!

I had a total PSU failure yesterday... I'm now running an under-powered, jury-rigged system which could go at any time.
If one or both of us are taken-out for a while, it's very handy to come back and find them all nicely tagged, ready for the attentions of katana.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

He'll need a more sinister avatar, I reckon.

Welcome to the Guild of Intergalactic Spam Assassins, CR.

Oh, dear. Do I have to do a speech now?

Only if you want to...

No, spare us that... however, you do have to take an oath of celibacy.

Like this, perhaps?

I may have to resign...

I thought that only applied to the married ones...

No no... master assassins are exempt.

Heh, that looks suspiciously like my pre-hack cheese...
