Those enticing new spampots will auto-load all kinds of crap simply by clicking on their names. Porno with Trojans and who knows what else.

Be warned. Don’t click.

Thanks for the warning.

You mean their screen name? Or the links in their profiles and sigs?

Yes, I mean their screen names. Look out.

Familiar/known legit account profiles are safe, or no?

There can’t be more than 2500 real posters ever. The rest of the 40,000 (so far) are not to be trusted. Anything new scrawling across the bottom should be avoided. I’m afraid to explore what else they can do. This is a company computer.

I have again requested a bigger pencil from the higher powers.

I would say delete all accounts with 0 posts and only a single or low post counts older then a month. But this will not stop until they change the account creation process to thwart automation.

Can you give a name you know is bad I want to check it out.

I’ve just accidentally clicked on 49 different screen names, but I have been very fortunate as no pornography, with or without Trojans, has interrupted my on-line research into vowel elision among the Hoti tribe in Northern Uganda. 

Can someone tell me which screen names lead to websites full of sweaty, heaving, panting, writhing, squirming, moaning, gyrating and cavorting strumpets, so I can make sure not to inadvertently sully my innocence ?

So ... familiar/known legit account profiles are safe?

IOW, if I click on Dennis’ or GAD’s profiles, no problem? Or have these problem children found a way to hack anyone’s profile link?

I should have known, Mr. Rabbit, these are all friends of yours.

I clicked on two provocatively titled screen names on the logged in list. The first took me to a full screen video of enraged naughty bits. The second did as well and openned pop-ups and set off my virus alert and my carbon monoxide detctor. Proceed with caution…

I’m sure Dennis’ profile is as safe as ever.

Markity, mark, mark!

Should I activate the Parental Controls or will I then miss out on all the rabbity posts?

Vondur Kanina is not computer savy enough to do this himself, is he?  Glad for that at least. Don’t want any STD’s finding their way into my computer! If I ever touched his keyboard, I’d have to don a pair of rubber gloves.

Thanks for the warning.  Appreciated.  What can be done?

It would appear that the dangerous bots have been removed. Presumably, by Ms. Suzie Gardner.

Keep an eye out for another invasion.

Saved!
