Spam from wiredset.com

howdy all. i'm an admin at a The Office fansite. We recently installed the Anti-bot question mod which has been working great so far. But we recently had someone register and post spam (oddly enough, it was related to The Office). I checked their email address it was from wiredset.com. I see that they're an online marketing site. I've found the same message on a few other boards that has registed in the last few days. So a human is going around registering at TV-related sites and posting. The username they're using is radrobot.

So you may want to start blocking emails that come from wiredset.com

Thanks,

-Joe.

Well, such honesty should be rewarded. Give them a nice big BAN, with compliments from all of us.
