oldfart1939 detected InnalVabtramn Russian spam

now removed and banned

For SpaceNut or other moderators ...

kmhyub is an ID that looks right for removal.

The post looks (to my eye at least) like a premium example of robotic posting.

In recent weeks, the amount of such traffic that has reached visibility on the forum has been low.

However, it seems clear (to me at least) that the potential for such mischief is high, unless the entity behind the robot is removed as well.

Removal of entities who generate spam is best done by government agencies (in my opinion).

However, at present, I am not aware of any agency set up specifically to follow leads such as the kmhyub posting to the original source, and then negotiate with the host country to extradite the entity to the United States for prosecution, conviction and internment for a minimum of a period measured in years.

If someone in the forum membership knows of such a government agency, I'd appreciate your posting the link.

That user's only post was a blatant ad for viagra. Location was "Moscow, Gulf, Samatra". What's that supposed to be? So I banned it.

SpaceNut · 2019-10-28 17:04:49

The ban was not totally complete but with the username I was able to finish it. Thanks for flagging the user and giving it a try.
A check of the username in the lst will show banned and not member if its complete.

I found you notice kbd512 in the other topic that BertonU was also an offender...
That one has been banned as well.

kbd512 · 2019-11-01 22:44:08

SpaceNut,

Thanks for the info. I'll give that a go the next time we suffer from a spammer attack.

tahanson43206 · 2019-11-02 06:49:19

For kbd512 ...

You've got an opportunity to try this technique already << grin >>

RepatopC appears to be a candidate.

This must be what it is like in the human immune system, where the various cells "talk" to each other about invading virus << grin >>

RepatopC fake document spamming has been imunized

For SpaceNut or other Moderators ...

JohnsonP is the latest fake name for the fake offers post.

Good hunting!

kbd512 · 2019-11-03 13:20:27

tahanson43206,

Thanks again for the notification. The offending spam post from user "JohnsonP" has been removed and that user has been banned.

tahanson43206 · 2019-11-05 14:17:53

For SpaceNut or other Moderators ...

The new ID: FloraJay seems to miss the point of this forum.

This may be a test post to see if spam could be delivered.

SpaceNut · 2019-11-05 17:32:46

I would agree with the assessment with the post content.
User has been banned.

For SpaceNut re aeytovareschSmato

SpaceNut · 2019-11-11 20:22:00

Its been a team effort and adding in the others to help while I am working has been a plus.

We are also getting some very good topics going for the categories on the new member location as well to sort of drop in to attract people here as well to join in with discusion here as well.

GitaCrowde may be worth considering as possible spam test post.
