Verbatim copy of another post in each sub-forum seems to be the tipoff.

Not a spammer. They came over here from a different board that I infrequently visit (the artist for my comic). _________________ Read my comic: http://www.ImperialGelf.com

o_0?
Oh . . . kay . . .
I'll take your word that jandonley is not a spammer, since you know them.
It's just . . . well, that copy/paste verbatim of an older post in the thread seemed like a real tipoff, along with the sig line that was nothing but links.

I checked him out when I saw your post but did not find enough to positively mark him as a spammer in my view. I deactivated the account rather than delete it or ban him until I could investigate further. Contacting Hikaru and finding the user was known to him and not a spammer I reactivated the account.
Spammers have been very active on other boards I admin and this one left me unsure so I did not go draconian on it right away. |

Just a heads up but PannyCoxhon would be a spammer. The only post here in tigermark's forum is a blatant advert. |

Well, I think irraryskymn might be a spammer. No particular reason, since he/she/it spammed numerous sub-forums.
Maybe put new members on moderation? Just a suggestion.

Also, PHPBB has a function to sensor text... Why not add a filter that replaces certain words with something else?
.pl can just as well be replaced with '.somewhere_in_poland_was_a_suspicious_site'
These sort of filters can also be made to include bit.ly and other 'short link' sites often used by spammers. _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"

He's a spammer and his 58 posts have been nuked. I also black listed the class C he's from.
Unfortunately, Ricky is the only person who can update the software for PF, so any mods will have to be by his hand.

This looks pretty fishy. |
Post deleted. Typical wall of text spammer.
Can't delete the user, though. That's above my pay grade.

. . . and it would seem there is a new spam mail address in town.
tenmail.ovh, temaile.ovh are in use by SEO spammers that have big aspirations of spamming our boards.
Killed of seven spam posts, blocked those emails. _________________ "Старый боевой конь, Кeллан" |
