I'll wait a bit before posting the next wave. Spammers in the previous post still need to be Chuck Norris'ed properly.

How do we know any of these are actually spam since there are no messages?

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Here's the link to one I have not psoted yet - all of them have the same similar format, with payload in the Signature, "hiii" or "hiiii" as "message" and posted between May and July '12

Linkity[^]

they all have 1 message and the subscription date matches with the only message sent. Also the names have mostly the same format, short female names and surnames.

Me and Griff were clearing spam he was pointing to. So within minutes, no one was able to see the messages.

All the messages contained just 'hiii' and spam in signature and that pattern has been approved as spam by Chris.

Kindly request you to join the hunt.

That gives me a good idea. Perhaps I'll suggest to Chris that CP play the sound of an explosion when marking something as SPAM. $Shucks | :-\$

Not just in the signature - this message[^] has no spam link, but the profile[^] has a dodgy-looking home-page.

And no, setting your profile picture to an attractive young lady doesn't give you a free pass to post spam! Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Now I know your secret, I can get a head-start on reporting the next truck-load of spammers. Big Grin | :-D

A search for "hiii" in messages turns up loads of spam in the spammers' personal forums. It's the same trick I noticed back in November (starting here[^] and going on for a couple of pages).

"hii*" gives off anything Big Grin | :-D

But I already have the text file with the posts and the spammers, I only need to copy-paste them!
It took me 3 hours straight D'Oh! | :doh:

EDIT: I followed your link and found the spammer still alive! I delivered the 10th kick and killed him on the spot. YAY it's my first confirmed kill!

I will post a page of results and then pause before posting the next, to allow proper deletion of spam and accounts and not prevent the regular functioning of the Spam/Abuse section. EDIT: typo

I upvoted, countering 12 his clicks with one of mine. Not that 2*n clicks can really affect your reputation, but what's plainly wrong... is wrong!

That's actually quite interesting how you got the downvote. I'm not able to downvote your message or anybody else's message in this forum even if I'd want to (don't worry I don't want to downvote messages).

In Spam and Abuse Watch forum all the downvote buttons are disabled for me while I can downvote in Q&A, articles etc...

So is it just me who can't downvote or how did you get the vote Confused | :confused:

Oh, I see, but still. -16 Is that the decrease for a reported abuse? I believe that a single person can make a report on a single message only once
