I guess spammers are all "Die Hard" fans as well. :p

ps. yes, I reported it.

Thanks!

Keep 'em coming, we'll keep swatting. :D

He's back, simply can't resist FT for more than a day. How charming FT is! :D

You are welcome!

Back again: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...xsupnetcr.html

Still the same domain name and JPG link as the past few times - surely it would be easier to block the domain name?

I assume it is 'spamdexing' and so unless they change domain names blocking it would stop them posting.

Please report such tracking image posts as you see them to the respective mod, that way they get deleted/blocked quicker. @:-)

I would have thought it would be simple to block links to a specified domain name from being posted.

I did, as well as posting here.

Spammers have so many lives and faces. :p

I thought so too since they were able to do this to the other "unhealthy-jpg" spammer about 3 weeks ago:

and that's one of the reasons why I update this thread when I spot a new one. Why not do the same to this $$guy?

Back again, exactly the same URL. Surely blocking the url from being posted would be easier than continuing to delete posts and ban users?

This army of jpg spammers has a tendency to get busy between 3-5 pm Asian time.

And I still don't get why the admin hadn't put a blanket block to this particular jpg link (..........com/10b.jpg).

IBobi Oct 23, 2014 1:35 pm

I can try to block that jpg tag... what is the URL that's being posted?

I'd posted above yours but will now quote it again in bold (I deliberately omitted the http part for the obvious reason):

The URL was blocked but they're still at it: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...yhunzelma.html

He's back again and no, the URL hasn't been blocked, as far as I can tell.

nux Oct 27, 2014 5:50 am

Same link and domain, still happening.

Yes, his daily routine on FT. I was surprised that this spammer took a little break over the weekend though. :p

He seems to be a bit less techie than the other one for the now blocked (un)healthy jpg link since his $ domain/link hasn't changed if admin did successfully blacklist said site.

IBobi Oct 27, 2014 2:39 pm

Where is the URL showing up? I don't see it in the profile, which is where it was shown to me before adding it to the blacklist.
