Unfortunately, spam has increased again in the past weeks, with one notorious spammer being kelisi007. Please remove this account and all the spam images and text she/he pestered this website with. I even offer to do such cleanup from time to time, if the existing team is short on cleaning time.

Otherwise, thank you very much for kdenlive; I already did more than a dozen small projects and more and more people are beginning to ask what tool I'm using for editing and processing: kdenlive!

Second that!!!

Sometimes I have a quick peek in the morning, take one look at the Forum List, swear to myself and just go away. Dump them! please.

User "kyo" is also a spammer.

kelisi007 - gone

Thank you. If you need a helping cleaning hand, please count on me.

Total agreement with Dive0, thanks.

bumping up this topic ... nope, that spam idiot isn't gone. Maybe the membership process should be reconsidered?

Removed kyo just now. Are you saying kelisi007 is back? I definitely deleted them on the day I posted about it. SO this is pretty sad. Do they have a capcha reading bot?

edit: yes kelisi007 was back. But they are now deleted again.

I wonder if IP blocking is available on this sort of site.

So j-b-m kindly granted me spam deletion privliges. And I have been making use of them.

But just now I saw a new option at the bottom of posts - "Report to Mollom". I googled this and found http://www.tcrcm.org/content/report-mollom from which I learn that the Mollom service is an anti-spam service. I also learn't from this site that "Organized Crime are using people, mostly children at about $1 per day, to cruise for websites to attack. and create new accounts so they can load the forums" - thus beating CAPCHA verification.

"Every piece of content that is created is checked against the world-wide Mollom database. If it matches something that has been reported from another site, or from a known spam account, it is denied."

So I will be using this in future.

Do only members with spam deltion privliges see this link I wonder? Obviously you don't want people flaging non-spam as spam so it might be good to keep this out of general usage.

ttguy: yes, normal forum visitors (as I'm one of) won't see the link.

Just noticed that the spammers now pop up under another account trying to sell rubbish.

I would like to suggest a different scheme: put each new member under moderation for its first five or ten posts, that should normally suffice.

"put each new member under moderation for its first five or ten posts"
I dunno if Drupal has this facility. But you are right. That might help.

Who is the new spammer

Yesterday afternoon it was a kelly345, I think. Sounds a lot like kelisi007


EDIT: Looks like you can add billjhonson to your list.

There is also spam in blog entries, just look at the recent posts list and you will find Cyrillic spam in two blog entries.

*bump* back again ...
