tinyE: On topic (NO WAY!), when I joined in December, my first or second day the entire forum was hit with ads for football games. Some of the members told me it happens all the time but I haven't seen it since. Does "all the time" mean once a year or have they worked on that?

Regarding Maighstir's impression; I myself don't do impressions, I'm just an inn keeper. It's quite an impressive ability if you are good at it. :P

VanishedOne: I think the first three you name are just more recently active; I've certainly reported loads of spam from adsadskjkk. I think they get hidden if enough people report them, and some may even have been *drumroll* removed.

Maighstir: No doubt, but spambots and their posts rarely last more than a day on the forums. buybuybuy's post in that wish was added on May 8, over a month ago.

Maighstir: They're a lot more alert about what happens on the forums though, spam removing among the wishlist comments seem much more sporadic. Users buybuybuy, online, and topbulk have posted spam as "comments" for several wishes. ##@@##@@, ericzhu, and adsadskjkk seem like the same kind, but are a lot less common.

... that's my impression from the currently 20 highest voted "this week".
