I just saw one in Random Chat. What happened to the question thing in the signup page? Did they figure it out?

THEY HAVE PENETRATED OUR SHIELDS

is it's signup date today?

It's one of two things:
Targeted spam (which is the EXACT thing I Warned about).
A spambot that wasn't caught and manually banned back in the day.

This is what it looks like because it's a Basic Member.

That doesn't quite raise a red flag. We shouldn't have to worry until (and if) we see more.

I know this is the iffy side but have you tried looking at their usernames? Some bots have used stupidly obvious or unusual names.

And CWK, you look stupid saying those memes.

Errr;
Yes it does:

1) Not posting in Southwest (encompassing Vegas), posting in a low numbered forum (hint: f=#)
2) A single link to a poker site.
3) New member.
4) Very generic "what should I do in vegas" posting, again, not in southwest.

It's Google Bombing fodder and nothing more.

I was going to ask the same question.

But I don't make such decisions around here, as much as I wish I did...

Although it might seem clever that the banner is hosted from photobucket, this just gives away who it is.
