Welcome back!

02/01/21 - spammer free day.

03/01/21
New user Oliviatub (10129), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.
New user Jefferybor (10130), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v and utdd.
Commissioned sleeper for Amazon (frances1taylor on bouldering mats thread), reviewed and their Chockstone account disabled today. Joined 01/10/20 (10034) and posted but after negative feedback to their post deleted it then tried again in the new year.

04/01/21
New user Konstantuscxm (10131), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.
New user aidanconnolly953 (10132), disabled. SFS +v, and tried the tactic of posting an innocuous reply to a recent thread along with having a spam (assignment writing) link in profile. It didn’t work.

05/01/21
New user lilimeern (10133), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.

06/1/21 spammer free day

07/01/21
New user SerdeEnhj (10134), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.
New user robertcoelho001 (10135), - back again but claiming a different age in profile along with ticking a few boxes this time. Still SFS +ve so pre-emptively disabled.

08/01/21 - 12/01/21 spammer free days

13/01/21
New user JamesStavy (10136), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v on utdd.
New user Aprilvob (10137), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.
[It’s extremely likely that Aprilvob and JamesStavy are the same person due timing of registration and common links to Bulgarian drug companies.]

14/01/21
New user mitlandj226 (10138), pre-emptively disabled. Although SFS clear (at this stage*), this self confessed marketer fits our spammer profile and I’m not feeling generous today.
[Post edit: * Rechecked with SFS 5 hours later, and was found to have five entries recorded as a confirmed spammer from a German based IP address - so the disablement stands.]
New registration arapsghost (10139), SFS clear and by the user name is passing the sniff test.

15/01/21
New user alvina43 (10140), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v

16/01/21
New user tdutyz (10141), pre-emptively disabled. SFS checked clear (at this stage*), but failed the sniff test by having a marketing/consulting spammer profile.
*Rechecked again later on unique user ID and came up +v with 5 SFS entries, four of which were utdd on gmail.com accounts, with the IP’s originating in Russia.
New user Vera (10142) AND New user bujhtr (10143), pre-emptively disabled. Both these registrations (13 minutes apart) used the same email address which although tested SFS clear, had both user ID’s checked and both came up +v entries (20 and 1 respectively), with at least one entry being a toxic disposable domain (utdd). Obviously the same spammer and trying the tactic of usurping a unique Australian email address. It didn’t work.
Having a Moderator using a variety of methods to assess new registrations must be very frustrating for the spammers who keep trying creative ways to thwart our defences, which a straightforward automated SFS check might not catch out, due some of their attempts use us in early attacks while they don’t have a history recorded as being spammers.
New user ErazeragoRs (10144), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.

17/01/21
New user LauraKer (10145), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.

18/01/21 spammer free day

19/01/21
New user MetroidagoRs (10146), - back again (formerly ErazeragoRs - 10144), pre-emptively disabled due still SFS +v.

20/01/21 spammer free day

21/01/21
New user CoinBitLox (10147), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.

22/01/21
New user AABapeula (10148), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v on utdd.
New registration tytaylor994 (10149), SFS checked okay and provisionally accepted until their further actions warrant disablement, due their first post to us being borderline spam and had a commercial link removed by Moderator.

23/01/21
New user Alizee123 (10150), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.
New user Kevinorbip (10151), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.

24/01/21
New user MichaelCor (10152), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v and utdd.
New user pinupcasinoo (10153), pre-emptively disabled. SFS +v.

25-27/01/21 spammer free days

28/01/21
New user Johnadem12 (10154), disabled. SFS +v and 3 x spam (internet services) posts deleted.

29/01/21
New user JamesLob (10155 - back again). Still SFS +v. Pre-emptively disabled.
New user Marskeos (10156), pre-emptively disabled due failing the sniff test and will be SFS rechecked* again soon to confirm the disablement.
(* Moderator Edit: Have rechecked semi-regularly till 13/02/21 with SFS and Cleantalk and still comes up clean, but google indicates possible identity theft happening here plus my spammer profiled detector is still ringing off the hook, so I’m making the call of the disablement still stands and if they have a problem with that then they can contact Site Author to have it reviewed.)

30-31/01/21 spammer free days

January 2021 tally.
28 spammers vs 2 legitimate registrations.
