I don't know if they're all spammers, well except for #9 whose spam post was already deleted, and #1, #2, #5, and #9 fit the same pettern as well as the 2 other spammers who got banned already, like with the saying they're from different countries etc. #1 and #2 have the same "interests". But that really looks kinda suspicious. :?

Yeah, I noticed that too, as someone who deleted some of those posts. But I believe think Dark_Rain is on the case.

Yea, I'm tweaking the CAPTCHA (thats the thing where you have to type what you see in the picture) settings to get the stinkin' things to leave us alone. We shall see, in time.
