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.

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.

2. click on the adminstration of which the screenthat comes up is the delete or ban buttons. always ban as it stops the user from creating the same account.
3. after the ban button is selected the next panel that comes up has the extra details of the useer and at the bottom of the page is a save button to select
4. you are all finished after that and can go back to the index or to any of the other features of the main page.
5. if its been reported by the report feature for the post clicking on that will allow you to read the reason and clear its record by the read function button.
A page refresh on the main page will update the view.

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

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

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.

Helenalxu appears to want an audience quite badly.
