Another one using my name! The sheer effrontery of it! Terminated with extreme prejudice!

Yes … TBH I would have left it alone until then, as there were no definite indicators up to that point. But it tried to lay a weird, non-relevant short post, presumably with the intent of coming back to edit in its garbage later, so I fried it.

Looks like the Winterval Spam Rush is starting. It seems to get earlier every year …

A *lot* of bot accounts coming in right now. Many of their emails and IPs aren't yet listed on SFS, although they do show up on cleantalk.org … either way, it's pretty obvious what they are. Still: hack, slash, hack, slash …

I'll take some off you, I've just discovered my street is having a party - barricades, tombola, cakes, bunting. The horror!

:shock: That is barbaric, and illegal!
A deeper check reveals which form of bunting you most likely referred to, the party paper semaphore and not the savage French cuisine's Ortolan bunting, which I witnessed as a child in France late 70s and still occasionally struggle with.
I was young, I was naïve. [EliteWiki] Jonny Cuba made me do it!
