Registrations 8252, 8254, 8258, 8262, 8281 and 8282 passed the SFS test.
8270 - whmvideography is highly suspect & will be monitored closely, but at this stage passes the SFS test.

2nd edit 11/09/18: New user preshita1 (registration 8257), disabled by another Moderator, and (most likely a) removalist spam post deleted.

Edit 13/09/18: New user mars10 (registration 8259), disabled by another Moderator. User, from Nigerian mostly disposable IP addresses, failed the SFS test with 14 prior spamming offences recorded.

Edit 15/09/18: New user Trompokmage (registration 8260), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 47 prior spamming offences recorded. This one is another of Russian origin. Haven’t seen them for a while, but last time we did, they blitzed us...

Edit 16/09/18: New user RobertCab (registration 8261), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test with 28 prior spamming offences recorded.

Edit 18/09/18: New user AdoTaw (registration 8263), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 10 prior spamming offences recorded.

2nd edit 18/09/18: New user xsKevinAnoks (registration 8264), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 60 prior spamming offences recorded.

3rd edit 18/09/18: New user JosephFek (registration 8265), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 440 prior spamming offences recorded.

4th edit 18/09/18: New user AgrodarLap (registration 8266), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 42 prior spamming offences recorded.

Edit 19/09/18: They are coming thick and fast. When AgrodarLap was rechecked for interest at the same time as the next entry about to be made, it had gone from 42 to 49 offences recorded.

New user Hildahic (registration 8267), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 756 prior spamming offences recorded.

I’m glad I got this one early (soon after registration at about 0515 hrs), because for further interest I rechecked this one two hours later and its recorded offence rate had risen to 773.
I believe many of their spams go unrecorded, but from the statistics available they are obviously hard workers.
They are also prolific with 3/4 of our new registrations over the last couple of months being spammers.
I’ve also noticed that the worst offenders are getting more tech-savvy and prefer to use disposable IP addresses.

Edit 20/09/18: New user NerazumF (registration 8268), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 71 prior spamming offences recorded. This spammer is a little different from most in that it has been periodically cycling through host IP addresses from 14 different countries!

Edit 21/09/18: New user DrewMA (registration 8269), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 48 prior spamming offences recorded. This user is a new spammer as those offences were committed over the last three days, mostly from Russian disposable IP addresses, but on seven occasions from other countries.

2nd edit 21/09/18: New user HelenDeeta (registration 8271), pre-emptively disabled although initially passing the SFS test, due the unique domain used has 1,000 spamming offences recorded for it.

Edit 22/09/18: Historical user beckersuzanne49 - registered 11 May 2018 but disabled 22/09/18 due failing SFS test with an entry recorded for spamming, despite my intervening checks being negative till now.
We can do without sleeper-spammers on this site.

2nd edit 25/09/18: New user Davidadava (registration 8280), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test with 16 spamming offences recorded.

3rd edit 25/09/18; Historical user flightplan (registration 8218 of 29/03/18), although initially passing the SFS test, pre-emptively disabled due the unique domain used appears in SFS listing 23 times. We can do without sleeper-spammers on this site.

4th edit 25/09/18; Historical user wisefool (registration 8173 of 11/05/18), although initially passing the SFS test, disabled today after further research revealed many similar posts to the one he made on this site, on many other sites, effectively constituting spam, though it was considered borderline at the time on this site.
