New user SanoramB (registration 8307 - our 38 yo spammer again), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test with 68 spamming offences recorded for the new email address being used.
Once again the IP addresses are toxic disposable and from many countries in origin, though about a third of them are Chinese this time.

Post edit 11/10/18; New user Kisamustone (registration 8308), pre-emptively disabled even though they passed the SFS test!
This was done because once again the user purports to be 38 years old, from Russia, and the unique domain used has 276 entries (mostly from the Netherlands, along with recent consistency of username prefix Kisa), for spamming offences.
I don't know why he/she/they keep coming back here.
Persistent bugger/s and a slow learner/s to boot.

Edit 12/10/18: New user modifyielts0209 (registration 8309 - our fake documents spammer again), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 6 (only? - hard to believe! - being 5 from Cameroon and 1 from Canada) prior spamming offences recorded for the particular address used this time.

Edit 13/10/18: New user Kisswep (registration 8310), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 74 prior spamming offences recorded, 2/3 from German IP addresses. This one (allegedly 37 old) consistently uses the Kiss prefix in their user-name...

2nd edit 13/10/18: New user TommyT (registration 8311), pre-emptively disabled due failing the SFS test by having 67 prior spamming offences recorded from lots of different countries, with these being mostly toxic disposable IP addresses.

I am extremely impressed with the Stop Forum Spam Site with its search tools and extensive database. In the past it was simply enough to confirm a known spammer (the simple cases), but increasingly I’m finding the cagier spammers that have newer and often vague details still have track records that give them away with further sleuthing.

Last month we had 6 legitimate vs 36 spammer registrations.
So far (13 days only), this month we have 2 legitimate vs 14 spammer registrations.

3rd edit 13/10/18: New user SusanNaf (registration 8312 - probably our 38 yo rusky aleksey romanov - this time allegedly from Armenia, but the last half dozen spamming offences are from Romania, though many countries figure in the IP addresses used), pre-emptively disabled due 157 prior spamming offences recorded on the SFS database. This user’s favourite username prefix is Susan and appears on almost all of those offence entries.
I’m getting spam-shy, so if a Susanxxx, Kissxxx, or Kisaxxx username pops up, then I will be disabling first and checking validation later!

4th edit 13/10/18: New user DoctorSak (registration 8313 - again allegedly 38 years old), pre-emptively disabled due 251 prior spamming offences recorded on SFS database. IP’s used are again from many countries, about half being from USA. This one’s fond of the prefix Doctor, so I will add that too, to my spam-shy list!

Edit 14/10/18: New user molyncpk (registration 8314 - our 38 year old again? - fascinating number that for the spammers!), pre-emptively disabled due failed the SFS test with 430 prior spamming offences recorded. IPs used were mostly from Indonesia and China, even though purports to be from India.

2nd edit 14/10/18; New user tscortRun (registration 8315 - 38 yo rusky again), pre-emptively disabled due failure of SFS test with 70 spamming offences recorded. IPs mostly Ukrainian for them this time, and very consistent User ID used being the same one for all of those offences.
Interestingly 65% of all offences recorded on the SFS database originate from Ukraine.

3rd edit 14/10/18; New user Klqrtzmon (registration 8316 - 38 yo rusky again), pre-emptively disabled due failure of SFS test with 5 prior spamming offences recorded, all from Russian Federation IP addresses.
Consistently uses username prefix of Klqrtz, so this gets added to the spam-shy list too.
