FC Forum:

aaronwyatt183 again

FC Forum:

Two more from emmab76.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Friday, December 08, 2023 - 09:06 am: Edit

As a followup, do I need to post these notices or IP addresses anymore? Or should I just quietly delete them when I find them? I'll still note anything that is odd or humorous, but are these postings about aaronwyatt183, emmab76, and the others worthwhile? (Honestly, there are so many from aaronwyatt183 that sometimes it looks like I made duplicate posts. Be assured, they are not.)

Mike: you have your medal for CL55 so why not just email them to Jean? Be sure to post one here in early January as the scoring goes in six month increments.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Sunday, December 10, 2023 - 10:25 am: Edit

I'll post new (or interesting) ones here and just silently delete the duplicates. I'll post summaries here occasionally of the repeats. (I don't want to overload her email, either. :) )

Convenient! Both spammers from the same IP. Don't have to look up the second, then.

Also, there have been three more from aaronwyatt183 and another from emmab76.

Spam post in Star Fleet Universe Discussion Board: Non-Game Discussions: Real-World Military

Three (3) posts on Fed Com General Discussion...
Each only have one post...
Hard to say if spam, though the replies are to year old posts....

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Thursday, February 22, 2024 - 11:29 am: Edit

Bolo,

They are 100% SPAM. They used to make an innocuous post like this, then come back and edit them to a full-on SPAM post. However, Jean turned off the edit feature (which is unfortunate) to prevent this.

However, SVC has always been reluctant to be too aggressive on killing non-obvious SPAM posts. Since they are nominally on-topic, I hesitated. Therefore, I have chosen to leave them alone.

There was also a fourth such post, but it was badly off-topic, so I did delete that one.

Mike, you are authorized to do what you think best over there, on my authority and with my blessing.

By Mike West (Mjwest) on Friday, February 23, 2024 - 10:07 am: Edit

OK, thank you.

One interesting thing is that a couple years ago, we'd get some spam posters that would apparently scrape questions from Redit and post them in the FC Forum. So, it was kinda weird to see obvious spam post real, legitimate questions. But that was apparently just a phase and now we are at the point of non-sequiturs.

OK, this is a brand new one. The first post was, obviously, a spam post. But apparently a second spammer decided its best bet was to make its spam post as a reply to the first spam post less than 20 minutes later. Bizarre.

Both gone now.
