Eviction of demons required (one more impersonation needs the action, same as reported above by Mika)

The enemy of the human beings took the image of a CodeProject to in for mysterious "services" to lead the foolish (hardly could be found among out members Smile | :)

) into the temptation:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11351392[^].

The posts are removed quickly (one sample: [Edit: Question Title removed][^]), but it's more important to evict the membership. This is "love back specialist", "money problem solution", "personal problem solution" and what not…

[EDIT]

Another impersonation came, requires separate eviction:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11351503[^].

At the same time, Mika Wendelius reported the same account above.

Member evicted.

Oh, and please don't post the title of spam posts, it confuses the spam filter system that Chris put in place. It also gives the spammers some help in that the message is linked to with the text they use to get the messages ranked higher on search engines.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Thank you very much.

Only I cannot understand how the link to the post can confuse anything and what exactly do you suggest to post? Some may need some evidence of the abuse. Also, I don't believe the title can do any harm.

Happy New Year!

Chris has a number of reasons for that, but I cannot be arsed to look for the post he made about it right now (going to bed soon). From what I remember, bots index these links, and they show up in search results. They also give spammers more visibility in those results because of the keywords in the title.

Just use the URL itself as the text, or something like 'Message' or 'Messages' (for the user's message list). I use the second way myself. I also use 'Luser' to link to the (l)user account.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I think this is a planned operation going on since morning. They have been regularly opening different accounts and posting such sh*ts. Mad | :mad:

I think Original Griff put up a nice thought of having some Coding captcha for opening account, so that somewhat these kinda spammers be avoided.
Just a thought.

And what if the account are opened by humans and then used with bots?
Besides, copy + paste is not so difficult, so once the message is done...

I have taken a look in the revisions. The first version was from a CP-Editor. I guess the user tried to fool the system getting it posted by someone of the staff (when they click publish, contributions get through without moderation).

So I guess: We nuked the first one. He posted somewhere else and someone from CP brought it back from Limbo
