Welcome aboard Alvin

Fairly sure we've got us a spam bot (and not like spambot454) going from those links in the signature.

I hadn't spotted those; speaking as an old sea dog, what is the significance? is it that he's using his membership to get business?

well when he start making more post to just spam, then I boot him. Otherwise I don't think its even worth of it. We are going to prune all 0 to 1 post accounts at somepoint anyway

... this is a spambot, and as such their account should be deleted and any posts they have deleted too.

Come on guys...

In some cases, the spambot can log back in and count the replies to an initial posting, and the more replies it gains, the more times it will send new accounts to attack the forum. Similarly, if anyone clicks the links in the signature line, it'll interpret that as a mark of interest and come back to launch more spam attacks. *Shrug* That's what I've heard anyway. I'm not sure I can prove that.
