Spammer

[dannyk13]

Ed, can you do anything about the spammer Hama.He keeps posting with his name followed by different numbers.He has been banned several times but just comes back with the same name followed by a different number.

........Spamma......Hamma.....PMSl...LOL...
Danny ....13 has cracked a funny..

[Mozz71]

I'm guessing those dots mean that Gulliver1's post should be read in the style of William Shatner.

[Buenchico]

Gulliver's posts are usually best left totally unread, Mozz ;-)

There's no real way to block anyone from constantly re-registering different usernames on AB. All they need is to use a different email address each time. Even monitoring the IP addresses of new users wouldn't really help much, as spammers tend to post through VPNs or other proxy servers anyway.

I had a quick look for HAMA but couldn't see it as part of a username.

[dannyk13]

Corby,//but couldn't see it as part of a username//
That's because he hasn't posted since his last ban.

[gulliver1]

What harm is this poster you call Hama, doing to you then Danny ...how is he affecting you ??

[Mamyalynne]

Moderators are tasked with removing Spammers Gulliver.


Danny may have been better to email the Editor.

[AB Editor]

Buenchico is correct.

[emmie]

i do my best to get rid of the early ones. of which there are many, with Hama being one.

[aelmpvw]

the spammers must waste quite a lot of time creating posts with numerous links, only for them to be banned as soon as a moderator spots them . . .

[emmie]

i get to them quite quickly early on, but one can't be on here the whole day....

[Etch]

The Mods are just gonna have to keep puttin' the Hama down

[douglas9401]

In the meantime we'll have to find something else to occupy ourselves, while we're waiting for the Hama to fall.

[LadyCG]

Hama sounds like a smash hit.

[Ken4155]

I'd rather be a Hama than a Nial.

[Ken4155]

Yes i would.
