Spammers getting a little more clever

Well, I found this is a very useful tool.

Could it be used for filtering spammers ? As I hate to see "our newest member" is actually spam, which just build up the number of members... Or are they deleted permanently so it doesnt appear in member ?

How exactly do you envision that? Do you suggest moderators keep an eye on that list 24/7?

Course not Hyro, all people here are unpaid for !

Well, probably I just too optimistic... just let it go then.

Sorry for the harsh tone in my reply but that list you linked to probably changes every minute. So it's very difficult to keep track of who is on and who isn't on the list (anymore). Also, the amount of spam this forum attracts is low compared to other years because we already use another spamfighting mod. Nonetheless, occasional spammers may slip through. And where one spammer posts only 1 message another posts 20 or more.

Hmm, I have seen many spam which is human spam today. From 4 I discovered today, all are human spam.

Please just report spam posts in the usual way (i.e., with the Report button) - there's no need to post about them. We will get to them when we can.
