I've seen forums with nothing but spam on them. Not a pretty sight.

I've seen shopping carts with nothing but spam in them. That's a far worse sight. *shivers*

On other forums this 'bot pretty much posts the same three messages and offers discounts on Coach bags and Microsoft Office.

Oh, and channal1 is banned in the Phoenix Labs forum, Sega-16 forum and possibly others.

Yet more epic spam fail here and here - looks like doorman330 wants to be shown the way to the dungeon door...

np: Scott Matthew - Buried Alive (Gallantry's Favorite Son)

PM'd him so hope he's genuine but 3 seemingly random posts, but also seemingly not advertising anything so...

Thought I'd point it out

Given that there are 35 Google hits for the text of one of his comments, i.e. "I am happy to find many good details here in the post, writing is just fantastic.Wonderful post!", complete with the same lack of space after the period, I think it's safe to write him off as a spammer.

EDIT: oh, and six thousand for this one, again complete with erratic punctuation.

Just got a PM from Vladislav with links pointing to porn site, p2p downloader and something else. Smells fishy.

Yeah, me too. When I asked him about he said he didn't know what I was talking about (as far as I could understand what he was saying)

Well, it could be that he has some virus/toolbar which automagically adds these links when a textarea is submitted... Still, it is weird.

I get the impression they're being added by something and not there intentially since there's a different selection in each PM, but yeah, this is not something we necessarily want going on on the forum, especially with kids about.

FWIW: I got a PM from him, with lots of links added, about 2 (?) weeks ago. He did have text in the PM before the links, but it was sort of out in left field and so I was pretty sure it was a spammer/spambot message. I deleted it, but thought I'd let you know that I had an example too in case there's still a copy of it hanging around in one of the logs.

He wouldn't be the first legitimate user to do those things, though.

Brainiac, I think you may have missed the title of the thread. Its purpose is specifically to report spammers.

And if you scroll up you'll notice one is a spammer - pointing out a potential dual account for a spammer seems appropriate to me

That's what I thought. Look again though, sometimes it looks like his signature but it is really his response; he doesn't have a signature.

...While the real problem with shespir is that it seems to be duplicate account of Vladilav. Or he is acting like he is. Since there was some discussion about Vladilav's duplicate acc in this thread before, I guess this post is somewhat relevant..

If anyone wants proof, download his(shespir's) hold in "Architecture" and see author in-game. Also, their posting styles are similar, etc... it's like shespir *wants* people to think he's related to Vladilav, which is very odd.

EDIT: also, Guf acts like a duplicate acc of Vladilav, too... I'm not sure what is going on here anymore :huh

Maybe it's just me, but those posts are mostly nonsensical and hardly on topic; looks like a spam account that wants to post URLs but has no ability to do so...
