Ohh now I remember why I stopped reading this thread.. Anyways, on a dull moment I started reading the Memberlist again and in the latest people to sign up there were four usernames starting with "and", followed by a series of numbers...

Another thing I wondered first is how many people seem to join with a series of numbers but then I figured they use their Cantr ID's. Clever but.. it has been discussed lately that someone could hack into an account if they only knew the code, and that way those people are making it easy. Though nobody knows who they are since they mostly haven't posted anything, but well, if you build that hack bot you'll soon find out. Real name, year of birth n all.. Exept that they have most likely quit already, if they're not posting here. I guess. And I'm not going to hack anyone, just wondering...

You made me curious, Seko.

So when I looked at the members pages I counted more than 20 who had joined since the beginning of September who have "and", "charms" numbers or product types in their names.

These all have webpage links to jewelry, prescription drugs, drug-tests, etc. that look very similar to each other.

I don't know if this is a problem or not but my keen sense of scepticism tells me they aren't Cantr players!

:shock:

Spamming by creating fake forum identities and then not actually doing anything with them.

I noticed the charms and jewellery too. Is there some way to remove accounts that haven't posted anything? Because it's pretty sure there's a bot in question. Or several bots.

Edit: And guess how many people have signed up and never posted? 209. There are 507 members so that makes 41%. Not including the ones that have posted once.
