Latent Vietnamese spam

Because PM's and pretty much everything else on here is timing out on me this morning...

Vietnam is the new China. Lots of sleeper Vietnamese accounts on here and most probably from China via proxy from Ho Chi Minh City area. Check on SFS and many of these IP/email addresses/usernames don't show up for several weeks to several months. Usual MO is to create account then come back, activate and spam away.

Almost 1,700 spammers were banned and their posts deleted thanks to the admin and moderators. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I own a car forum currently with 55k accounts. It seems like some weeks I'd be happy with only 1700 new spam accounts. Other weeks, nothing. 'Tis a roll of the dice.

Was this one banned earlier today also? View Profile: taigame1223 - Lawn Mower Forum

And this one: http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/members/saomaii901.html

And this one signed up 3 times: http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/members/cbestprice.html

Etcetera....

'Tis a good thing that Spam-O-Matic is doing its job.

Not being an *** here but Admin & the Mods aren't doing their jobs when Joe Schmoe member can scroll back 2-3 days and find several definite spam accounts and several more that I would call suspect.

I banned the ones you mentioned. We are doing the best we can.

After the LMF newsletter comes out (which it did today), there are always more spammers.

If they claim to be a manufacturer/dealer without a mower, red flag. May be perfectly legit:
