Late night spam bots

I figured out a way to at least temporarily block them. I don’t want to say here, for fear of giving it away.
But if you haven’t noticed, the chinese university spammers have been scarce.
If you see anything, text me.
 
No, that was a singapore ip that was previously used by 4 other spammers
I noticed activity was ramping up and knew it was aboutvto happen.
Doing my best, checking in overnight when i wake up.
We had a fog delay, i got up anyway, in time for a text from fatcat about another compromised account posting sexytime spam. By that time the uni spammer was banned by 2manyturbos. I just took the extra measures mentioned recently and applied them to that one while i ate lunch. Also preemptively banned some more.
There is going to be spam. I’m slowing it down. And i’ll swing and miss once in a while, and ban an innocent lurker noob. But that has inly happened twice so far.
 
What are these weird accounts with seemingly real names posting just one random message a few weeks after registering?
I've seen a few of these, all female names I believe.
I'm sure these are bots with that randomness. :lol:
Just wondering.

Two IP addresses, one from Helsinki, one from Tokyo. Either a jetsetter or just using proxy sites.

Yeah, why bother waiting for them to start spamming?
 
Soooooo, I can't help but assume this new user that joined just before 5 am with an AI-generated profile picture and who thinks you can use a diagnostic tool to check the "BCM" on a 240 is probably a bot.
