I think this spammer must be an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, "I'll be back", and just returned once again.
I guess spammers are all "Die Hard" fans as well.
ps. yes, I reported it.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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.
