i'm assuming these are all manual spammers since we do have captcha images for registration, seems a very labour-intensive way to spam since they're not staying up long...

There is a way around capthcha images.

wtf are all these drugs? Are they good? Stop banning them i need to know!

Xenical

The primary side effects of the drug are gastrointestinal-related, and include steatorrhea—that is, oily, loose stools; because orlistat blocks some of the dietary fat from being absorbed, the fat is excreted unchanged in the feces—, fecal incontinence, frequent or urgent bowel movements, and flatulence. GlaxoSmithKline recommends that Alli users be cautious of the possible side effects until they "have a sense of any treatment effects".[11][12] To minimize these effects, foods with high fat content should be avoided; the manufacturer advises consumers to follow a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet. Oily stools and flatulence can be controlled by reducing the dietary fat content to somewhere in the region of 15 grams per meal.

not going to replace cocaine any time soon then.

PS - if you don't want to shit urself then you need to go on a low fat diet. If you are on a low fat diet then you've probably made taking this drug refuckingdundant. So basically, xenical is a voluntary blackmail device for fatties - "put the pie down or you'll cack yourself".

Would it be feasible to make it so if new users had to be approved before they can post/have a publically viewable profile?

I made e-mail verfication necessary. If that doesn't work, someone go to admin/user/settings and switch on "administrator approval" of new accounts. That's shit though.

Most of these spammers seem to be coming from the same place - they all have the same format username. Can we block their IP?

You can also check what user-agent they are using and block that. Clever spam-robots will give a fake user-agent though and pretend to be regular Firefox or IE users, so this doesn't always work.

Wonder how they are getting through that captcha.

it still works on bots but if you get a person to look at it they can crack it in no time so they get people in india to brake them

I would not like to write about it here as such post will be picked up by Google and the Criminal in question is likely to attempt to retaliate.

For example:
[quote]
This act of exchange abstracts from their qualitative differences as use-values created by distinct acts of concrete labor and a commonality/homogeneity is found between the two different commodities based on the amount of social labour required to reproduce them and thus the value of the commodity, based on social labour, is derived. the value, expressed in price, of that commodity can be split into two parts the cost price - being the element that the capitalist has paid.

Just deleted an email (that somehow didn't go straight to the spam bank) from fessuripainna, entitled '(libcom.org)My cool Blogs' - didn't open it. Any info?

post a link to the user's profile next time to make it easier to find.
There was one earlier put driver software on a bus strike story :)

Wasn't sure if the name fessuripainna (I omitted the @gmail.com that went with it in case someone clicked on it - DON'T PRESS THAT BUTTON! - What, this one?) matched any user profiles - it was an email direct to my address rather than a pm to my libcom account, but mentioning libcom.

ah right, someone more techy will have to help you there. You can be contacted via email on libcom but the sender does not get to see your address. I'll have a search for the person and see what I can come up with.

But they appear to be spamming their stuff about strikes, and some of it's 9 months old if my quick reading of their badly-written (cut'n'paste from other sources?) text is anything to go by.

Yeah lots of the spammers cut and paste from elsewhere to make themselves seem more human. There was one a few weeks ago that was waxing lyrical about Wertkritik, but it turns out it wasn't actually a robotic value-theorist, but had copied it from the previous page of the thread :(

Personally you need to decide if you want to respect the picket line (which it's obvious you do) and if you can. If it's a choice between crossing and losing your job then that's a very hard choice and not one that anyone should pressure you with either way.
I think what you've said about tryign to get a group of people together is a very good idea, the risk of this is that you could be fired for organising an illegal strike or something similar.
Is it possible for you to refuse to do your job on health and safety grounds during the strike. For example if there are no support staff it might be possible to close down the building using fire codes etc.
