I've deleted it, and I hope that you do not object to the fact that I also removed the link that spammer had put up from your post as a precaution.

They are getting ever more sneakier. Without the links in the sig, that one could almost pass as a normal member.

How are the spammers getting through the system? Or are they human spammers now?

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those accounts were initially registered by a person before being turned over to a spambot given the current account registration procedures. Unless, that is, some spammers have found a way to program their spambots to get around the normal checks (it is a weird irony that spammers are one of the driving forces being artificial intelligence in their efforts to break through traditional forum safeguards).

Either that or spambots answer Mark Webber to any registration question made!

That would be very co-incidental if that was the case
Bloody hell, this one is sneaky! This one could pass as a normal member, if it wasn't for the link at the bottom of his post! viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4532#p115430

I think we can safely assume any 'member' who puts a website that isn't Twitter, Blogger, etc in their profile when signing up is a spammer. It's a good indicator between the real deal and a spam machine.

I'm not sure if this one's a bot or just some idiot thinking it's OK to post streams. This one has turned up at a few other race discussion threads over the months with links to streams though...

Either way, given that he has been warned before (he had put up another two posts with streaming links, both of which have been redacted), in this case I have decided to delete his post entirely. I know it's a little harsh if he is just a misguided fan, but given that he has already been warned before he should have anticipated that (and if he is a bot then deleting the post is OK).

Well, as the saying goes, give a man power and you will reveal his true character. Good minded with lots of technical knowledge. Oh my! He must be a disciple of HWNSNBM himself.
I'm loving the subtle way that this one has spammed. A triple attack, that's got to be the most we've had in some time.

This. Plus, if the mods are alright with it, could we have some spam posts merged into this thread, just like the good old days?

Like when spambots posted hardcore pornography in the Paul Stoddart Memorial Forum?
Damn and blast the naiveity of my post!
I meant of course, some of the funny spam from reject spambots, such as somyaguru.

I guess it is something that could be considered provided that the worst parts of said spam (i.e. the web links) were removed beforehand to render the spam mostly harmless.

That's what I used to do.
But haven't been doing in awhile (sorry, just wanted to piss you off a bit).
