Here's an odd poster:
http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=17337

"markrusell" has posts in several forums here (and on other forums across the Internet). At first glance they look on topic. In fact they are nothing more than a slight re-phrasing of part of a previous post, apparently using some sort of automated thesaurus and looking slightly odd as a result. For example, in the Think we'll see the Symbiot and Vau? thread in the "A Call to Arms: Noble Armada" forum, we have this from "markrusell":
Quote:
Shadows generally work well contrary to Minbari but conversely Vorlons can be hit by Centauri / Dilgar due to sheer allowance of firepower

Previously Da Boss had said:
Quote:
For instance - Shadows usually work well against Minbari but conversely Vorlons can be hammered by Centauri / Dilgar due to sheer amount of firepower they can throw out against hull 5.


It looks like a very sophisticated spambot, except it's failed to deliver a spam payload. :lol:

Something is up in this topic lots of blank post and red flashing things.

Co-sign - just noticed him in the Paranoia forum, with a post that was basically a word-swapped quote of something Arkku posted.

The fact he hasn't actually posted spam yet I would attribute to him being a deep-cover spambot, one which builds up some quote-unquote legitimate posts before embarking on marketing b*ll*cks.

Get rid of him before he does, hmm? :)

It's a problem with the link to his avatar. If you can block the image things will display normally. The text is their in the posts, just all pushed to the right.

The "nelsonbla17" thread by "nelsonbla17" here in the General Discussion
looks a lot like commercial spam.

Though the posts appear to be on topic, they all spam the same three links. A Google search for "jannypan" shows the same username to have done similar spamming on many other forums.
