This one was registered in January, same as when I reported the last kidney spammer here - probably the same chap. This time he missed me, but he got a couple of my friends. He also argued with one of them (and others) on her blog about whether he was a spammer or not.

This would be easier to do if the forum link to the last posts wouldn't end up on an empty page five.

Strange ... his blog seems empty anyway. The title is in Vietnamese, so even if it had any content I doubt you'd understand it. Unless he's just showing off his CSS?

I don't know, it seems innocuous. I'll send him a message asking him not to do that and see what happens.

I visited the link after all - it's an auction site and the link is probably to his shop on it. The link in the PM was nothing to do with the blog, but the user didn't have an About page.

Ah, when you posted a link to the blog I thought you were saying that was the link they sent. It's supposed to be a link to the Info or About page. doh

In my defence, I was using Mini on a crowded train and there was no About page angel

My first sad http://my.opera.com/mesco247/

I received two PMs, one at 13:11 and one at 13:23, seemingly identical or almost so. (The "came across your profile" isn't strictly a lie: this person does show up as a recent visitor on my pages.) I also marked both as spam.

This person just admitted to me in a blog, that she is the one who threatened my daughter in a PM with rape and death. The opera identity she used has already been banned. This is the one she uses all the time.

Here is the blog.
http://my.opera.com/espeonjac/blog/2007/11/14/movin-to-the-top?cid=5127635&startidx=9300#comment5127635

At the top of that page, she asks about my daughter, and says remember what I said. I have told no one about what was said.

Please ban her, and if possible ban her IP. She is sick and doesn't need to be here.
