Probably the same person since all of them are posting links to the same Forex Trading satellite sites, all of them join MyOpera on November 2008, all of them post their comments only on Opera Widgets web site.
All their comments almost irrelevant to a topic -- they post comments for the sake of posting links.

chef All of them just waiting for permanent ban with deletion of all comments. ninja

Hmm ... the removal of comments feature only seems to work on My Opera for me. Banned (after checking comments), but the comments are still there.

Someone had already banned nana120 but forgot to remove his/her comments. All the listed ones are now gone.

If you right-click on the "#" hashmark you can link directly to the comment ...

Looks like someone already removed it, and banned him.

So, nobody can remove comments from Widgets site?
Permanent ban does no harm for such spammers, since they did all they want already. Their the only target is posting comments with crappy SEO links... And dozens of spammer comments still here.

Bigot? That may be somewhat strong ... his other comment (while not in English) didn't seem so bad. Off-topic, so I deleted the comment you marked (really a generic comment about worshiping only God - okay, he said Allah, but I've seen fundamentalists say the same thing about God so I don't see it as any different). Sorry though, you'll need something stronger than that for me to ban him in that regard.

Fair enough. In hindsight, maybe the word was a bit too strong.

Since http://my.opera.com/chris200673/ got banned, may I suggest that such users automatically get their forum posts deleted (there are now 6 threads by the spammer in the feedback forum alone) and their PMs (I found 2 in my inbox). Comment spam from my blog by him got deleted automatically, though.
