Ping me if you spot any of them slipping through. Thanks.

Okay, those spammers have been nuked. I re-checked the new user verification system. Hmmmm . . . maybe I need to make the questions more challenging? If we keep getting hammered this week, I will switch it up.

Williamhawk keeps dumping all kinds of spam everywhere. It's not even remotely writing related anymore. Please help.

Yeah this williamhawk dude is getting pretty annoying. And setting him to "foe" doesn't seem to do anything.

Agreed! I can’t read his posts but still get notifications for them. Can we please throw him off the island?

FictionMuse is generally posting links to interviews or articles about authors/editors in the business, in the Interviews subforum. This one doesn't bother me.

I've always been afraid to click on the link because it just looks sketchy, and there's no intro or anything in the posts -- just the hyperlink. Has anyone actually followed the link? Does it work? Looks like code that would blow up my computer! lol

Yeah, I read those blog posts sometimes. I think File770.com is FictionMuse's website. The different links are usually to different interviews.

Nope. He's Carl, a guy who is into the writing world, more than generating and submitting stories. He's done a lot of work for David over at Diabolical Plots.
