There is another one --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=344822 (Magic Of Nigeria)..... it looks like Candy got hacked

+ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=354665 (theerachate).

It looks like that guy's posts have been deleted already, I am showing his last post being last month

Yes, I saw! I reported him to BadBear yesterday. He is probably banned.

More and more users with referral spam already reported some posts from Magic of Nigeria. Let's see who comes up next...

How is these accounts getting hacked and no reports are made by users? I don't think someone would buy those to spam a referral link but I am stuck when joining dots!

Easy, someone joins fastminer.net, uses the same password as is used on bitcointalk.org then whoever is behind these hacks simply logs into the hacked accounts.

Not everyone is going to try to post on the forum everyday and if your account is hacked, you technically don't need to post in meta, you are suppose to send theymos a PM with a signed message asking him to reset your email address. So there could be reports but they are just not public

Who is this marcy clown spamming the entire forum with links that are probably virusses. Can some one ban this idiot?

It will take sometime to delete all of those spam and more time to ban a user!

heres an idea, cant they just ban the word fastminer on here?

[hilariousandco]

Handled the ones I could. Nearly 200 reports I think. Wish there was a way to just checkbox all the posts and delete them all at once.

It can be added to a blacklist, though once they find out they'll likely change it or cloak it to get around the block.

What about adding Fastminer.net or whatever it is to the list of blocked urls? I know they could bypass that as well, but it would be a decent start. If Bitcointalk could implement a URL unshortner, then blocking all destination URLs including fastminer.net would be a really good start.
