akdrv Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I usually delete these accounts when I see them, but I thought I'd post this for the mods reference. Here is an example of a spammer account: http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=26694&hl= 1. The post is generic. It does not contain any reference to CP topics. 2. OmniCoin and BanknoteBank links contain a username and country links. This is also generic info that other forums require. I think these two indicators will help us weed out spammers (of this variety anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 OK but the userid is still active. Has this user actually done anything wrong or is he/she just waiting for their time to strike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdrv Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 The account is created by a script, that's why there is a country name in the BanknoteBank link. Usually the post or member signature is edited later with spammy links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
