Needless, to say, this is very suspect. A quick internet search of the username found that "turkyaljaattar" is the newest mbr of a large number of internet forums on a wide variety of subjects, all joined in the last week, such as: weapons manufacturers, flight simulator programs, aluminum alloy boats, auto racing, Blade Runner props, African wildlife, yacht owners, marine engineering, peak oil, emergency home preparation, and parenting (they really do have a forum for everything).

This is the life of an internet admin. Protecting you from spammers.


Maybe turkyaljaattar just has a wide variety of interests. Laughing

In all seriousness, thanks for your diligence in keeping the site free of these annoyances.

Banned a couple more entire domains that seemed to be based in India and Bangladesh, and show up on a lot of online spammer reports (the top one was also where previous spammer requests came from). Some obviously foreign spammers bother to get gmail email addresses, so this domain block shouldn't prevent any legit members from registering. It is just annoying to continually get obviously spammer registration requests I still have to put work into to ban their email address from reregistering.

I'm a mod on another board and we have what we call "Hindu Black Sex Magic" season, because every year, about Diwali, we'll get FLOODED with spam accounts advertising that.

I've taken my class to visit the local Hindu temple a couple years for Diwali festivals. Diwali is the biggest festival for many Hindus, also celebrated by Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and light over darkness. Calling it "Hindu Black Sex Magic" season seems insulting to those who observe it. Diwali is next week.

And what are the spammers actually advertising? From what I've seen, Diwali isn't about selling stuff. I also never got the impression that they proselytize, unless they were a part of Gaudiya Vaishnavism (the Hare Krishna movement). On my watch, there has only been a single Hare Krishna proselytizer spammer here, but I do not remember if there was any reference to Diwali in the post before I sent it to the masher.

Why do you like the Star Wars D6 RPG? Roleplaying

How did you find The Rancor Pit? Rancor Pit

Nice try, sock puppet. The email domain is one I blocked, but it seems that unfortunately that doesn't stop them from requesting registration. At least I registered two real users today.

I haven't clicked through to check, honestly, but that's what the Subject lines often say.

Like:
Black Magic, Love Problems in kolkata
Husband wife divorce problem solution in kolk
Vashikaran Mantra by Photo in kolkata
Love Back Vashi karan Specialist in kolkata
hindu black magic

All subject lines that we've gotten in the past couple years from spammers, usually right around diwali. No idea why.

I certainly believe you, but calling the Dawali season "Hindu Black Sex Magic" season may not be looked upon favorably by non-spammers who actually celebrate Dawali. That's all I'm saying.

Ah, now I see what you're saying. They are definitely not the same thing to us, just a trned on the message board, not the outside world.

My guess is that it's trying to exoticize another cultural and religious practice hoping for clicks, not actually try to get any real practitioners/observers. Unfortunately exotic cultural voyeurism is a real thing.
