TB0ne might have been wrong this time (they are a little trigger happy so to speak), but they've been doing important detective work in that respect.
We all certainly know the signs of spammers, and yes I do notice them and say something. However, just putting either of the user ID's into Google will give you MORE than enough...I will never discourage anyone from doing their own research and if I'm wrong, I'll happily admit it.

But the 'new ways to post spam' is something to keep in mind; registering on a ton of forums with a 'real' person, making a post or two....then having a list of sites with user ID's/passwords to sell on to a bot farm would certainly be plausible.

I was actually replying to you, because you were/are discussing.

@ondoho,

You seem to feel that it is acceptable to continue to post off topic.

Please refrain from this behavior moving forward.
