My reminder-marker: Have reviewed up to and inclusive of Page 103 of 399 pages of registrations... ie all registrations back to 17/12/2012.
[The first 40 pages reviewed netted 18 spammers, the following 30 pages only netted 4, and the next 33 pages netted 4 more...
The further back in time the more diminishing the return for effort appears to be, though I noticed many of our confirmed spammers that we had already disabled within the earlier time-frame, were coming up as blanks when researched anew. My conclusion is that historical spammers have not yet been registered with the new database tool at our disposal, unless they are still actively using an old email address...]
NOTE: Serious question marks hang over the following ID's, that warrant further investigation; ... possible 'sleepers' adopting the tactic of embedding themselves to later emerge and spam us?
nikefd which joined 07/11/2016. [This user seems more interested in coding issues than climbing? If so, why did it join Chockstone? Reference (of several similar) https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairseq/issues/77 Its history being too suspicious I have now pre-emptively disabled it as I have no tolerance for anything that's even half-spurious. You can email us to review it again, if you think you are hard done by.]
adams607 which joined 21/10/2015. [Another user similar to nikefd ... Reference https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=40392 Also may be an eye-wear merchant.

You can email us to review it again, if you think you are hard done by. ]

New User ID bridgesmark disabled 15/07/2017 after it waited two days to post (hammock) SPAM (now deleted). This one had the hide to taunt me within their post due being online with them at a stupid hour!
Post edit Later in the morning: brand new User ID kontactidtf pre-emptively disabled (russian fertilisers), which has the following interesting bit in its profile;
P.S.
Ćć. You do not need to do this with the help of a new search engine, just as you have an in-demand system and a code does not exist!
We didn't need the search function to recognise this spammer, but I did need google translate to confirm my suspicions, and then the search spam record tool further confirmed it!

New User ID mariaevinne pre-emptively disabled after researching previous spam history of the email address involved.
Though an old topic, the What's the best way to mark your gear? thread it started has been left intact in case new Chockstone members have discovered new and better ways of doing this and care to post their results to it, as an update for the rest of us.
Depending upon any responses it gathers (or not), I may just lock it as yet another duplicate thread.

Hip, hop, hooray? ~~~
Todays latest registered user brings Chockstone membership to the milestone figure of 8000...
Hmm, though it will probably be a while before we have that number of legitimate members once the number of disabled spammers* is taken into account!
