Hey all,

I believe we have a spam bot on the site going by the username of chenchen21621. They are just quoting other people's replies to a topic and using them as their own with their huge advertisement signature.

Example from the 24 Hours of LeMons thread in the Motorsports area. (https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=903421)

Hey! I remember that RX7 from the Leadfoot rally last year! I heard they came out on top at the LeMons race?

Did you get any pictures of the R2D2 MR2? That's my old Rally-X Car. I was surprised they didn't paint over my orange splat, numbers, or Zodow.com on the side!

P.S. Good photos! Glad you went.

Their other posts follow a similar pattern (if you go to their profile and look at all posts).

Can a mod / admin take care of this?

Thanks,
Greg

The easiest thing would be to report the post by clicking the ! in the red triangle of the poster.

Yes PLEASE do that instead of replying and reposting the spam. That just results in more cleanup work for us!
