Megogigomaned: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=6272
18 hits on SFS.

sxxj: https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=6278
(this latter confirms PhillipJCannella as a wrong'un, incidentally).

That's the third registration for the spambot IonIdsdrido – time for a ban?

Anjelliez - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.p ... ile&u=6283

Tried to misspell "jellybaby" to get through the filters...

And then there's
Dentor - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.p ... ile&u=6284

It's called dentIST, you know...

Heads-up to the Master Assassins: I just found an unapproved message with the following text:
Hi there, I dont know if I am writing in a proper board but I have got a problem with activation, link i receive in email is not working...
<fake activation link here>
On further investigation, the poster had a definite spammer e-mail address. Of course, if someone really had an activation problem they wouldn’t be able to post a message about it.

attAitina - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.p ... ile&u=6300
duhostin.cloudhi - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.p ... ile&u=6301

The first one could possibly be human. Maybe. Though the one-minute-visit sends off alarm signals.
The other two are no-brainers, in every sense of the word.

That's one reincarnation for "Megogigomaned" (back today, after deletion yesterday), and four for "IonIdsdrido" (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday) ...

The 31 entries on SFS for "Megogigomaned" (up from 18 yesterday) all come from IP address 212.95.58.129 ...

Although the name "IonIdsdrido" only seems to appear on this forum, putting the url it's pumping into Google brings up a rash of other random-but-pronounceable names on a mass of widely various other forums.

Thanks, never thought of this. Another source for determining spam bots.

I think maybe, possibly, coneivably

mydrisyjoydaykbm3dv - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=6315

isn't entirely human. But I'm not sure.

So that's the 6th time in 5 days, yes? Persistent bugger.

Anyway:

gowenlareehah - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=6318
Illipbisa - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=6322
lfk7j9vug - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=6328
Quatuccigiora - https://bb.oolite.space/memberlist.php?m ... ile&u=6329

Illip has spammy link in profile.
lfk has 2 Chinese hits on SFS, and Google throws up a bunch of fresh forum stuff. Saw no need to look past page 1.
The other two really only have the strange names & 3-6 minute visits, but it's enough to make my spammy-sense tingle.

A late addition to the party:
