The "Baba Ji" posts unpredictable and can show up in any forum. I believe they're under discussion in Talk Team.

"The current Baba Ji spam is targeting TravelBuzz! and External Miles and Points Resources along with CommunityBuzz! and some other forums." But The Suggestion Box has been hit as well; here on 16 July.

I took out Baba Ji's IP, so we'll see if that stymies it.

Thanks! Let's hope this kills Baba Ji's "magic" off.

Has not worked. :(
Country phone code "91" in the thread title is the common element

Edit
He has just put ⑨① in some new spams. Not text 91

This spammer is clever and regularly figures new ways to sneak under the tent flap. :mad:

Spammer with 7-month dormancy?
 
I believe this is a spammer-in-the-making, who made 5 nonsense posts earlier today using the mixture of 5 short words: nice, very interesting & thank you. All five posts were done within 3 minutes, all in ID Forum:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/memb...as-sicret.html

Not sure what he's up to but nothing good, I suppose.

This must be a very patient spammer since he's signed up with FT 7 months ago but only started this stream of activity today.

A new one just showed up minutes ago and completed 5 posts so far:

Information Desk forum mods notified, as all posts are in that forum.

Suspended, remaining post marked for deletion.

Thank you.

Another one-liner post runner just showed up:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/members/djbas.html

Completing 5 posts in 3 fora within 7 minutes. Wonder why they always stop posting by the 5th post, after giving thanks or saying nice? ;)

Reported. Thank you.

Another pure spammer just popped up 30 minutes ago, producing 4 threads/posts so far:

Thanks!

Second handle just created from the above spammer for the same trash:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/memb...acharni09.html

Thanks!

lin821 Mar 12, 2018 12:02 pm

I suspect this might be the 3rd handle from the same spammer since it's all about the same q-books:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/memb...kbooks888.html

Is there anything admin/MOD can do to prevent us from see 4th (or 5th...etc) handle in a few minutes?
