New registration AshleighMunro (8829), tentatively being given benefit of the doubt but subject to ongoing monitoring, as username comes up with 1 SFS entry - possibly a different AshleighMunro due that entry used a toxic disposable email domain, whereas this one hasn’t. Edit: still SFS clean 15/04/19, and clean 24/04/19 so benefit of the doubt is given.

New registration rosemary234 (8847), checked SFS okay, but being monitored due (possibly?) another rosemary has positive entries there, so benefit of the doubt given at this stage. - Checked a day later and has one offence recorded there from an american IP. As an experiment I have not disabled the registration, but am waiting to see how long it is before they return and spam us, along with the nature of such spam, as their other registration details are reasonably convincing. Very tentative benefit of the doubt given at this stage, but being ongoing closely monitored.
Edit: Checked again three times, with most recent being on 15/04/19 - same result of 1 entry on SFS, so monitoring is continuing. Registration disabled 24/04/19 after 7 SFS entries and my tiring of waiting for their return.

New registration WilliamTi (8848), clueless potential mountaineer, initially checked SFS okay, but a day later has three spamming offences recorded there from a chinese IP. The post they made on Chockstone is on-topic so as another experiment I’m waiting and watching to see if we get spammed by same (travel related stuff?), before disabling their registration. Very tentative benefit of the doubt given at this stage, but being ongoing closely monitored.

12/04/19 - A day of rest from spammers.
13/04/19 - Another day of rest from spammers - what!? - two in a row!

14/04/19 - What? What? Three spammer free days - this is unreal... Either that or there’s a power outage in Russia and China at the same time?
Edit Dalai - new registration code broken? Been surprisingly quiet on the Western front!

15/04/19 - Fourth day in a row of rest from spammers. Either they are massing for an onslaught, or they’ve actually become tired of coming back to further their agenda but finding their registrations pre-emptively disabled.
There are other possibilities of course, like being on holidays or simply sacked from work due being ineffective at it!

16/04/19 - No spammers again. Maybe we’ve been blacklisted? If so, hooray!
