Sureal Nonsence.

[BlowFish 10]

Is there an institution somewhere that allows the inmates internet access Friday evenings?

 

Lots of random slightly sureal 1 line posts by brand new posters. We're not in Kansas any more Toto.

I've just been reporting all instances of that. The usernames look random, and the posts are either all the same, or copies from someone else, leading me to believe it's the same person. PM spamming, anyone?

It's only a mild irritant but doesn't create a good impression for genuine new members. I did get 1 PM for some forex course. Actually there was one that sounded like a fortune cookie that did make me smile

Kind of weird to find a year old post bumped and to have deja vu about the comment.......only to discover that it was something I had written 18 months ago.....un-attributed of course.

[atto 20]

I've already received a spam PM as well, so it's quite obvious what happened. If you check their user pages, they're still busy sending messages right now.

[stanlyd 10]

Something is up.I have started deleting them, however I see this is just going on and on. If you get pm's just put the names in this thread so we can just go ahead and deny them access.

Here's one of the culprits... forex spam

I have a hunch its some sort of bot. What purpose it serves who knows. I sent a couple of PMs to 'admin'.

thanks, took care of that.

[atto 20]

karktymarkar is another. In fact, just go through all the unread posts. It's blindingly obvious which ones they are.

Others that are obvious: taskyneem, rangytjani, anhksha, hatjjan, umafhkanta, valftyli

[Hlm 10]

I just got one from jayaftnt. Let me see...that link brings me to a page with a contact e-mail address. I know a few dozen mailing lists that address would like to subscribe to. :rofl:

It seems like spammers are posting 3 posts in order to use the pm system. Ive managed to ban and remove all the junk but if I have missed anything, please let me know. I appreciate the notice guys. Thank you.

[JBWTrader 10]

I will let you guys know if I get one from Madoff.....

 

Best

[stanlyd 10]

I think most of the names have been banned now. But keep posting names here if you get pm's . I noticed also that they are all coming from names registered in afghanistan, so that might be helpful in searching them out.

[cantana 10]

I got one from some one named "taskyneem".

[BlowFish 10]

That weird spambot is back http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/30/do-courses-help-5137-2.html#post56803 is a cut and paste from earlier in the thread.

[BlowFish 10]

OK they ADT has kicked in I'm done despite there being other new 'spam' users. most of the recent posts are this spam bot. Not sure what its objective is it seems to take random threads cut a random paragraph and add that to the end. It makes 3 posts under each new user name.

[BlowFish 10]

OK one more --

Seems to be the first post.So looks like it started on the hour. The posts seem to be 'proper' as they are quotes from earlier in the thread however they are just 'random'.

[Soultrader 12]

Thanks blowfish, working on it now.

[Soultrader 12]

What is up with these spam bots. A bit more intelligent then what Ive seen in the past but gosh are they annoying!!! Please post here if you spot anymore. Thank you.
