Spammer decloaking on the port bow:

Lyncbyday - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.p ... ile&u=6195

Finding all the hilarious puns associated with the name is left as an exercise for the reader.

Nothing on either SFS or Google. Spent zero time with us dear fellows!

Busy morning today.
One for the watch list.
No hits on SFS, and zero hits on google which is very strange.
Registered, but never visited.

No hits of SFS, and a google search doesn't help.
However, registering and then never having been on-line seems a bit suspicious.
I think The Black Albatross is OK – the name is too real. Spambots seem to rely on random name mixes to try to dodge attempts to blacklist them (although I see that IonIdsdrido, above, got deleted yesterday, too).

Agree, hence watch list only. Strange that he has never visited though. Should I delete the report?

Sometimes it takes time for people to visit the forum. There's no harm in flagging concerns, though. I'm pretty sure he's clear, but it's up to you.

Can't delete the post now. The delete X disappears after a while. Have amended the post and apologised as I should.

To be precise: it disappears as soon as someone else makes a post after you. In other words, you can only delete your posts as long as they are the last in the thread. Therefore, should the other person delete their post, you can delete your own again.

No harm, no foul ... when the spambots are coming in thick and fast everyone's bound to get jumpy!

I wouldn't call it "jumpy", I would call it a feeding frenzy :twisted:

Googling "FSFG Cannella" yields some, shall we say, interesting results. Phil, if you happen to be a real person, might I suggest getting a different username?

This, otoh, isn't interesting at all.
