Don't know if there are any moderators on this forum, but user Prasimetraike
has been spamming me with PMs in Russian.
If somebody could take the time to ban him, that would be a help.
Meanwhile I've turned off PM noptifications.

Mods while your dealing with that one get rid of the link in this profile :
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=159223

Use the red flag in the pm to report direct to the moderators

Just had an email informing me about the arrival of a PM from Prasimetraike.
No sign of the message in my Inbox. 😮

Yh, seems like he's having a great time, I just got one.
Rough translation:
"Independently to get rid of excess weight practically it is not possible!
If you or your relatives suffer from excess weight (and this SUFFERING) a procedure 25 staff becomes the present rescue. A life one and all хочеться to live it in full force." plus the link.
Red flagged with suggestion that his account is terminated and that only O2 customers be allowed to register with the forum.

Mods : this Profile is blatant advertising, they have no intention of posting anything worthwhile on this forum concerning O2.
Can you not see how "clever" they think they are ?

Thanks, missed the poll...but I bet from my previous you can guess what my response would have been
In fact I would have asked for another option...open to view by guests, but only O2 members can register and use post, pm, etc.

As a note on the person in question -
Seems they've been banned, the following message is at the bottom of the message in my in-box.
"This message was sent by a user no longer registered."
1 down...

How ironic, the spammer posts in the topic headed Spam

Yes we have zutou and shaxi trolling around at the moment.
They seem to be practising their English.
No doubt the Mods will **** out the usernames from this post rather than delete the trolls' posts and their Profiles.

Not sure what they're trying to do but their posts appear to be either trying to download something or trying to link to something? When they initially load they show the word 'image' in the middle of the sentence, appears to try and connect to some webpage and then disappers 😐

I think something's wrong with the smilies. In some posts the "Image" resolves eventually to a smilie

no the image is a 1x1 pixel

page source shows he's linking to a pic on imgquick.com in the post line - perhaps posting just to get links to that site spread around?

It seems to be only happening in threads which they have posted on 😐 I can see the smilie as well as 'image'. Smilie tends to be at the end and 'image' in the middle of the sentence. Comes up at the bottom of the page as connecting to XXX (one of which being imgquick.com). Seemed a bit odd 😐

Yes you're correct, it's an advertising link, it's using :
http://www.imgquick.com/images/38.gif
MODS : now will you delete the posts and block the Profile or will you just delete the link that I've posted ?

And another question is why has this been up for 2 hours without being deleted ?

Edit : 3 hours and it's still there :womanindifferent:

Are there no moderators for this forum?
Or if there are, why don't they ever seem to appear or post anything?
It's pretty poor.
