wow :(
Probably all of those can be deleted.
Comment #3
michelleOk, I did a user search on "viagra" on here instead of Google and blocked a whole lot of spammers. I guess at this point, let's give Google time to catch up and try the search again to see if I missed anybody.

PS: This is the first time in my life I have ever searched on "viagra" LOL!

gerhard killesreiter commentedI got another couple of them thoug the "people interested in Viagra" page...
These never got detected because they didn't send spam. They only used their profiles to enter spam. I wonder if we could use a function that mails a summary of the day's new additions to the user profiles to the webmasters' list.

bertboerland commentedthanks for blocking and deleting posts. while i am not a great advocate of blocking, some 200+ account came from @yandex.ru. prop a free signup mail provider. we /could/ block this in a rule?
Comment #6
gerhard killesreiter commentedNot an option, I am afraid. There are 32 blocked users with such a mail address and 304 unblocked ones.

Comment #8
killes@www.drop.org commentedgreggles: From your latest list, most people seem to be alrady blocked. It is probably a bug with Drupal's user search to show them at all.

underpressure commentedI have this problem with comments on my site, since Textimage isn't working. I have capcha but spammers beat the math questions.
I'm concerned about this happening to my site as well.
Perhaps we can put our heads together and find a solution?

sepeck commentedWhen people block users they should check the various profile pages for links, etc.
I just went through and changed all viagra names to blocked###
I added a username and email rule to block %viagra%
