Every day there are a string of WHO’S NEW names that look like bad passwords.
Are any of them real part 15 newcomers?

We guess that strange blog and forum entries that fangle the outskirts of bribble brabble are some kind of spam from at least a few of these party busters, and why would anyone bother with such silliness?
I guess the links seen within the skiddle bosh end up somewhere like an ad or an infestation.
Probably not unlike the generous e-mails I receive all the time.
This morning the United Nations granted me a Humanitarian Award with a $600-million prize, and all I had to do was follow the instructions.
All that money is gone now, emptied in the trash. That’s how humanitarian I am.

The names in the “who is new” block are users who have registered on the site and as you have surmised many of them are spammers.
We have a very effective SPAM blocker and practically none of the spam postings are viewable here before they get deleted.

Awww, Shucks..
Neil, you take all of my morning fun away! Those spambags are fun to play with… LOL
Sorry About That
:))
Jon Paul and I have done some things which make it hard for spammers to abuse this site. They can go elsewhere with their stuff.

Funny Word “Spam”
They have tins of non-descript meat called “spam”.
Nobody knows what it is.
My grandparents used to serve it once in awhile.
I looked it up at Wikipedia and here is the meat of the story:
“The labeled ingredients in the classic variety of Spam are chopped pork shoulder meat, with ham meat added, salt, water, modified potato starch as a binder, and sodium nitrite as a preservative. Spam’s gelatinous glaze, or aspic, forms from the cooling of meat stock. The product has become part of many jokes and urban legends about mystery meat, which has made it part of pop culture and folklore.”
And it explains that the name comes from “spiced ham”.
Spam In The Pan
It appears that the anti-spam needs to be expanded to the sign up procedures. It may be effectively blocking bot spam, but it isn’t blocking manual registration spamming.
I would start tracking IP addresses and domain host names and use a redacting program. Add some php scripting to monitor a listing of those IP’s and domains and head them off at the pass.
Unsolicited advertising should be illegal, across the board..literally. It should be so that any spam advertising and it’s “pusher” can be tagged bagged and gagged on the spot, hauled off and locked away from computers for life, advertised company closed down and charges raised against all involved.
They have the one button wonder, so why not a one button eliminator.
Oh…that’s to come in the next 4 episodes of “Ain’t That America”..beginning Nov 7th.
