Someone asked me why I was doing this...posting suspected spammer's/member's names.
I'm doing it because I think it may help to someday eliminate not only a single spammer, but maybe a bulk of them in one shot.
If I ever have a website/forum of my own, I would want to know how to watch for these people and I'm hoping Drew is exploring those possibilities now. The two groups of people I have targeted in this thread have definite patterns to their screen names, and not a one of them has really posted any kind of meaningful thought about storage auctions.
They sometimes join and never leave any kind of link to their spam product, but sometimes they come back a few hours, days or weeks later and add that material. Some of them have links right off the bat that not only try to sell something, but have malware products built in that try to gather OUR private info, even if it is an email address. They can either SELL our addressess or they can then spam us directly through our email addy.
If I ever post the name of someone who ACTUALLY is interested in storage auctions (and proves it through legitimate postings) I will BE THE FIRST to admit my mistake. So far that hasn't happened. I have even emailed some of these people asking them to post about their storage auction experiences...so far no one has responded either here or privately to me.
Just a bit of explanation for why I go to this effort.
