I agree, Vern. The two that hit me used exactly the same text on a couple of my oldest stories.

I think we have another review spammer, Lunapriv.

Yes, I've been suspending Luna accounts off and on for a few days. I imagine Bill has too.
Persistent, I must say.

I've had two reviews from her a week or so apart, obviously a spammer from the content. Both times I checked her account and it was closed. The closed account doesn't seem to stop her. Not sure how she returns with the same name. Anyway, keep up the good work. Thanks. Take care. Vern

Re: Spammer has joined - Please delete them
I've been wondering, like you, Vern, how they can keep spamming after being removed. The only way I can see is that when they apply for a given name, the name-checker doesn't "see" that the name has been used (since being removed). If this is a case, the name check may have to be altered to take in past names (back as far as, perhaps, a month).

Maybr keep a permanent list of spammist names? Purge them after several years, or after a new user IDs himself and pays ?

Just got my third one and in each case her (Luna) account is closed. Something isn't working. Take care. Vern

What bugs me more than having a spammer is being kicked off the system every time I remove one.

Yep, got another one from her with the account closed. Saw her on another author I reviewed also. Persistent little devil, lol. Hey, maybe if she works that hard to get our attention, she might work just as hard to service you. Take it the way you wish. Take care. Vern

Vern, she may have done the review before I punted her account. Morag notified me that she was soliciting.

She seems to be the same person signing on with a different name each time.

Yup. I actually emailed her outside the site a few weeks ago and explained why she's wasting her time. No one from this site is going to work with her at this point.
