Two new SPAM accounts

problem
#1

My first time off finding spam in newsblur, both within minutes of each other.

1st account

2nd account

Which is also following me!

What’s amazing is that it isn’t automated. I looked in that account and there’s a person there doing stuff. Anyway, I deleted the one account and the other was auto-deleted by my spam detection.

Excellent quick response as always thanks.

I suppose there must be enough people out there who are prepared to copy and paste for negligible money… I wouldn’t have thought they’d get any value from this forum.

I took them out but it looks like something broke in automated spam deletion, so I’ll have a look at it and fix it.

The spammers get more clever at hiding their spam. What is it with people? There you are hoping to run a sensible service - which is great - and bad people’s actions mean you end up spending longer on protection than the good stuff.
I hope you keep motivated to keep us safe from the vast majority of junk that’s out there.
