He was on the other night spamming away. First he was using w....25, got the boot. A couple of hours later, he was back, this time with w...26. ole #26 got up to 44 threads posted. He hit 40+ as #25 as well.
There were 2 other spammers using Chinese that night. One started w/ a "g" and the other an "L". Forget who was spamming what, but one of the was spamming for fake diplomas to US colleges.
Sometimes, they use Korean.
Apparently, this has been happening almost every night. The mods working late at night and the early morning hours are cleaning them out before most folks see them.
There's even a new sticky up in General asking folks who see these strings of new threads coming in to go to the earliest one and report it, then reply to the thread stating it has been reported.
This way if subsequent people see them, they can just look at the earliest one and see if it has already been reported. There will be a "1" listed in the "replies" area of the thread.
That way the moderator inbox won't be inundated with multiple reports. But they would rather have multiple reports than no reports.
