Heh, I thought it was a legitimate post, until I scrolled down on the page that was linked to.

Does this mean that spambots are getting cleverer, or that we just have the good ones funneled towards us? D:

Could someone please nuke this thread from orbit, along with the spammer that keeps posting this trash?

EDIT: Also, this user looks like the next spam run waiting to happen - same naming scheme and all...

Added a captcha when you sign up for an account. Let's hope that fixes this.

Okay, make that "semi-automatically"; they're probably too lazy to think up new username and hence using a generator - same thing I do with my passwords...

I was thinking more... you trick as many people as possible into using your not-actually-random-at-all passwords, so you can hack into their accounts easier and steal their stuff.

OK, I think I need my anti-paranoia tablets.

Frog pills?

Also, if you're using a site somewhere on the intarwebs to generate passwords you're clearly pushing your luck...

They are likely the same person. Either that or one started it and the other followed.

Can it be verified they're the same person? If not, at least ban masak12. His second link (to make money from the internet) is a hilarious joke.

EDIT: His first is a little iffy. What to do?

I'm not saying he's definitely not a spammer, but if he's a spammer he's a pretty poor one. I can't even understand what he's trying to say.

For the moment, I'd assume 'person with some combination of poor English and poor typing skills' unless some more incriminating evidence comes along.

I was thinking incriminating evidence such as:

1) Posting something that's actually spam
2) Deluging forum members with offensive PMs (advertising or requests for illicit merchandise)

Call me old-fashioned, but there's a line between 'suspicious' (which the numerical sequence certainly is) and incriminating.
