Another spammer that escaped the net: Walourgelatte

Edit:
second spam thread by Walourgelatte disapproved.

Also another spammer: Teeddimenal


Edit 2:
sonsarsaklas - the usual "watch free x" crap

also, looking through the logs, both Walourgelatte and Teeddimenal have been disapproved yet again and again.

You know, I've seen so many russian spam messages that I'm learning to read cyrillic. :lol:


Edit:
speaking of the devil:

Diawgreemasam - tried to post a thread about obese pornographic material. In russian. :|

Spambots are still signing up, by the way.

alileValBloff - blocked two more threads by this spambot. Why is it still here?

Edit:
Romarropy - usual online drugs and medicines spam thread. Disapproved.

Edit 2:
ligiahag7902 - double-posted "Thank you so much for your post" in "Overgrowth Weekly 15" thread. The double-posting, lack of content and spam in his signature made me decide to disapprove his posts. Also said user registered on the forums yesterday (the 5th) so while the new security upgrades slowed them down, they are breaking through again. :x

Maybe you could write a script that went through profiles and banned any user/ip who posts links with .ru/ in the domain. The only thing in .ru is russian spam, virus, or illegal software/movies/porn. You could also include words like "store" or "buy" in profile url links in any spambot sweep script.

This wouldn't really take care of all bots, but it would take care of some.

Got another one:

badced - blocked three posts filled with russian search words. You know, everything ranging from horoscopes to pirated software. Looking through the logs, it has been rather active with its spamming.

Got another one, and a repeat offender at that:

jenfromcandp : multiple posts with links to the usual enhancement stuff you get regularly as spam.

Edit:
there are also a couple of posts waiting for approval that are, well, odd, and given that the users that posted them haven't been active, spambot activity is suspected. Could an admin approve/disapprove them?

In the future, if there is a post that does not make much sense, or if they have posted in a thread that has been inactive for a long time, but still does not include anything Spam-ish, just disapprove it as "Irrelevant, please use the Obligatory Introduction Thread."

People who actually wants to join the forum get redirected to a better place to start posting, and spammers generally don't read it and just let their account sit inactive.

Hey, can a mod ban user zhanlin347?
I've already blocked 4 attempts at posting spam (of the "famous MMORPG gp selling" -type) and also updated its user notes every time, as can be seen in the Moderator Logs.
