Aye probably.

Edit: Yeah, they've not even bothered to activate the account.

Edit 2: Banned.

One drawback with doing that.
Those posts inevitably get tweeted.

Hi Quiff 'n' Everybody
thanks for unbanning me. As I'm already linked to this thread, and this being my first post, I may as well use it for a short introduction:
I live in Switzerland and discovered the Sisters in '87. In fact the first Sisters song/video I ever heard/saw was "This Corrosion". It took me quite a while, to get into their older stuff, but that's what I listen to mainly, these days. I've seen them live twice, in Zurich. However, the Sisters are not the only band in my Life, I do like different styles of Music. I'm into Pop, Rock, Metal, 60's & 70's and Electronic Music as well.

For now, that's all folks

Happy Spamming, M!G

Very weird, I did not report you as a spammer, but since I did report the guy right before you, I guess you now have his member ID ;D

Ah, ok, we thought we helped the mods spotting the spammers more easily.

And besides, from time to time, it is fun! ;D

Not to me it doesn't. This is the most surreal thread since the giraffe filled the bath with rice.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

A potted history:

Originally, the link Izzy posted at the top of the thread was the user profile of a spammer. Said spammer was banned and the account deleted.

Then somehow the same user profile got assigned to Auf Sendung who was then banned (wrongly) for being a spammer.

(The same might happen to new member Annabelle who has inherited user ID 5120 from the spammer highlighted in Pista's post if we're not careful...)

And the rest is usual HL confusion. ;D

So best way of action, delet this thread or edit my link so it does not show up again, and the next time we spot a possible spammer, don't be so stoopid as to put it on here but PM a mod :lol:

Or just don't bother. ;)

I almost always use the View posts since last visit link, so chances are I'll spot spam posts. If it hangs around for more than a few hours, then maybe flag it up.
