Death to Spammers, Phishers etc.

BLAM... Burned like old celluloid in an MGM vault fire.

It MIGHT have gotten thru... except a number of flags went up.

One, it has a "Name+2 digit" name - almost ALWAYS a spammer. Then it's "website" was the same one it was adding for. But the clincher for me - It says it's from "Canada" but its IP is from India. >>wince<< 3 strikes and yer outtathere...

Thanks!

I'd remind one and all not to click a link unless you know were it's from, and for the love of all that is holy do not download and exe from an unknown source.

Also I have some bonds from the Republic of Congo that I need help unloading.... (jk)

Oh you silly Windows people and your viruses and .exe's.

This idiot just doesn't give up. Maybe someone will give him $100,000 to go away!

I disabled the account. If he/she/it comes back with another name I'll try to figure something else out.

First post from the user, neurodexter.. His/Her URL, and even location talks about this other festival thing. If anything it's in the wrong place.

C187 -

I booted it to the land of the lost threads. Sometimes these things pop up again though. Like a weed with deep roots. Not as bad as the "Hyperinvester" though.

There was an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation in which Geordie LaForge was "phased" and invisible to the ship's crew.

I wonder if phpBB has something like that. Where to the spammers/trolls it appears that their accounts are active and functioning, that their posts are created and readable by all. But in reality they are only visible to the spammer.

Extra points if spammers can see other spammer's posts.
