kojicacid4 joined last night. His IP resolves to Beijing, China. 180.110.67.120

I put him on Mod Preview as a precautionary measure against spamming.

I got curious so I looked up recent new members. Here's some more:

dimethylpyrazole2 joined June 12th, but has no posts. His IP also resolves to Beijing. 180.110.14.6

Going back further, dimethylpyrazole1 joined June 6th and also has no posts. His IP resolves to New York, NY. 58.240.106.154

Both of these jokers have this listed as their website: http://www.royal-chem.com

They also have these links in their signature block:

Silane coupling agent

Titanium Dioxide Importer

DIY steadicam

And these URLs are in their About Me sections:

http://sensors.blogse.nl/log/hall-ic-and-conveyor-belts-51-speaker.html

http://sensors.blogse.nl/log/hall-effect-sensors-and-35-dimethylpyrazole.html

I've removed all of these links and placed both on Mod Preview, and both have been flagged as spammers.

 
Outstanding work, guys! I've banned all accounts and IP addresses. In addition, each account had an email with 163.com - a known spamming domain. I've placed a ban on any email addresses coming from that domain.

 
Give them props for trying something clever, I guess. This time the registration name is "Administrator." IP is 60.242.167.100, resolves to Sydney, Australia.

No posts or links yet, but I'm pretty sure we're safe in nuking them.
