Got a PM from user "freanour" (zero posts) with a dodgy looking link to some Russian site...

Anyone else?

A PM is a little more directed than the usual ad-spam.
Oh well, if they look at their own PMs they have a personal invitation from me.

Thanks Modman.
You can see if there are ip matches with previous registrations, right?
Looks like someone went to the effort specially. So thoughtful.
Oh and wanks cats/blows donkeys/yourmomwasgtreat etc. Usual internet drivel to the poster.
My care-factor is sub zero.

Hang 'em high Johan...

By the way, what's the purpose (from a mod point of view) of leaving a comment when reporting a post?

The function isn't designed for spambots, but for reporting all kinds of stuff (postings in wrong sections, threads that should be closed, double topics)... but the verb to report really has a very criminal ring to it....
