Hi folks,
while fighting spammers found a lot of accounts that have never been used for a single posting on the forum. I'm going to delete such accounts within the next days. If you have such an account and want to keep it: Post something.

I know this sounds odd making you post stuff to get not deleted because of spam but I do have my reasons for this Wink

You do so. Sorry for forcing you out in the public Wink

Some more background: There's a spambot expecially for our Viscacha forum system. I'm tracking several automated registrations, logins and spamming of course. It's a highly customized bot and I came to the conclusion that this bot is just some sort of "plugin" for some sort of chinese spam farm. I'm making progress keeping them out but since they also use real humans for "the act" (shame... humanity has gone from bad to worse). I want to avoid that members get spammed via PMs (those I do not track for reasons of privacy). There are also "Status Spammers". Those log in and out rapidly to get crawled by search machine bots visiting the site at the same time carrying their spamload in their profiles (which I obviously do not track as well). Such profile spammers do not post to not become suspicious.

I can not delete you, Sal. Who should I blame instead when something is broken? Tongue

Hach immer diese Zufälle. Da loggt man einmal ein um zu verhindern, dass wie auf vielen Seiten standardgemäß alte Accounts zerbröselt werden, und dann gleich sowas. ;-) Zum Glück habe ich auch zufällig den IRC Chat besucht, und Agent Beko hat mich auf die Dringlichkeit der Angelegenheit hingewiesen. ;D
