You think a profile with hundreds of posts dating back years is a spamming shill?

??? I remember Kat-
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

There was a second post underneath Kat's, some or other advertising crud. It's been removed.

Just posted a spam post within an existing topic in the DFRC.  (I already nuked it)

This is the first of these spam posts I've seen in an existing topic instead of a new one, so I wanted to point it out here.

We seem to get a lot of new lurkers late at night, male, USA, no other real info, their join date is
whatever date it is now with no posts that I remember, with what look
like computer generated names and usually an ad for something
to be bought or a service in the signature line.
I think I left a note for either Iago or Priscelle about it.
So I've noticed less of them but every now and again we get a spate of them.

Do you see the report to moderator thing?  Please click those.  Otherwise we won't see the report until we log in.  If you hit report to moderator, it will show up in our mailboxes. 

Ah. okay, these are profiles which have not posted.  In general we don't nuke people who have never posted. 

Thank you.

Oh, I remember someone saying "do not use the report moderator thing unless is very, very important, because those reports go to Jim and we don't want to bother him", so I usually sent a PM to a mod.

Jim has been removed from the moderator list, so we no longer have to worry about pestering him.  Thanks for your consideration, though!

And the best way to identify a potential spammer is if their sig has what looks like spammy links. All of these do. Great work, Eldest!
