Also... the three other links to russian, thai, chinese brides (in all of the comments stored in Microcosm) were made by @Tenners @Señor_Bear and @furious_tiles .

I don't think they are spammers. It was probably jokes some time in the past.

Basically a reminder to me not to turn on autobanning, as it works without thinking.

That's OK. We all post without thinking.

The inverse Turing test for spam detection: Can the algorithm differentiate between a bot and an unthinking/unintelligent human?

Thoughts @Velocio ?

It's a hard one... we haven't had private forums in the mix before, I'm inclined to say it's OK so long as the adverts are maintained. That's primarily why the rule exists, because when it's just spammed everywhere they tend not to be maintained and lead to lots of dead adverts rather than active ones.

If someone convinced me that they'd maintain their advert even when they adjust the price elsewhere, provide more photos or sell it... I'd let it stay.

The rules are definitely aimed at stopping spam, and badly maintained adverts.

Could you please ban @Oliver Schick, he really is becoming a tedious prick...

I'm never that bad, am I?

What's he done? Can he be banished under brexit?

More seriously @Velocio

There is the slightly odd implication that I've ever not been tedious. :)

Spam (albeit maybe for a good cause?)?

Just spam.

I've just banned someone, but immediately forgot who.

Italian seller, spammer, bumper with no price drops, probably schizo (two accounts).

If you see that damn frame again, let me know and I'll ban again.

how could you forget @marcom so easily?

@TheSnatch

That was the one, thanks

schizo ? to mean multiple personalities? I thought better of you Velocio.

I don't have a better word that encapsulates someone who has two accounts that interact with each other and have distinct personalities (until called out).

It's the right word according to the definition of it.

And "encapsulates" is synonym of ?

Schizophrenia =/= Multiple personalities, thats referred to as d.i.d.

Schizophrenia isn't the same as multiple personality disorder.

(Sorry to butt in!)

I overuse "encapsulates"... damn programmers.
