    Actually not true Peter.

    Apparently my Collusion!! post offended one of the mods.

    It’s as if any word or term that the culture has politically weaponized is vulgar. Frankly I find that very odd.

    It's never benign... I've been a mod on another site for several years and when stuff like this pops up (sometimes waaaay to often) it takes hours to run the IP sources and isolate them. Usual sources are Russia, Ukraine, India.

    Best practice = scrub them as soon as they appear, block the addresses and their mirrors if possible. It's time consuming work, there is AI software available to combat it. Good luck, Dave.

    Sorry Frank, I did not notice that post was missing. When I first saw it I had a great laugh!
    Actually, with over 100 of these "user names" reading posts all at the same time I do have to conclude that they are colluding on something; but what. Have they been dormant since creation and only activated recently? I have not noticed them in the past.

    Russ, I am not a mod on this site (but a minor mod on another site). Ashton is the person on this site that will have to take care of this. I wish him luck since there appears to be a huge number of "users".

    I still see a lot of members online that belong to this class of miners.
    More to the point, since I noticed this activity my spam has exploded. No coincidence!
