The Great SUBSIM Spam Hunt of 2011

Get your rifles and pitchforks and join in the Great SUBSIM Spam Hunt of 2011!

Here's how to flush those pesky spamhos out into the open:
Go to the member list and sort by descending Join Date, this link should do that for you.

Now, scan the names, using your savvy spider sense to pick out the spammers. Names like Kpt. Grey are probably legit. Names like coupons2000 and jewelryfree are probably spammers. Now, you do this a while and you begin to see how these guys work. They like odd names combined with numbers, like Juanbell225.

Go ahead and check out Mr. Soon-to-be-nuked Juanbell225. Here's how to tell if he is a spammer: There are two key tabs to check
  • About me - check for spam links
  • Contact Info - check for a spam homepage
If you find either of these, please post your kill here, like this:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=277902

I will verify your kill and then nuke the spammer into oblivian.

I suggest looking for members in the last six months, but there could be a legit spammer camped out for years back, who knows?

This hunt will continue until Sunday 2200 CST. The guy with the most legit kills wins a SUBSIM shirt and kitchen magnet. The guy with the OLDEST spam find will win a SUBSIM mug.

Thanks for your help! Let's make those spammers suffer, and by removing their links, they will have wasted their time and it will make Subsim less attractive to future spammers.
