I'm on the fence about this answer on SU; could I get a second opinion please?
There's potential affiliation nondisclosure there (avatar same as product)
And the phrasing of the A 2nd paragraph makes me think spam
But first link seems to answer the question (although those instructions should be in the answer as well)

Hello btw, haven't seen you around here before
 
Hi @Magisch, I am fairly new as mod here and did not visit this room much before becoming a mod.
Thanks all.
Having been a spam hunter on other sites, I feel the only thing to do with a spam account is killing it, now I can :-D

AS I have met people hanging out on black hat sites, I think I have met some out of those dark corners, if not the darkest corners of which I hear in the news only.
(Black hat sites is where spammers share information on where to go and how to infiltrate in those sites.)

@Willeke Sorry to hear that. Interestingly black hat sites sometimes give many hints about spammer activities.

Thanks

@Willeke Which language those sites are actually use?
 
I do not know, I got the impression the one my friend went was based somewhere in India or that region. That leaves open a lot of languages, including English.

@ArtOfCode Did you hear anything from triplee lately? I've been meaning to ask something about domain tagging but he's been inactive for 17d on chat. Is he on vacation? Who is responsible for the domain tagging stuff in his stead?
 
7:47 AM
I just asked one of our group where the black hats were based and he said Vietnam, it is a kind of cottage industry there to spam.
He said the Vietnam spammers got paid to post anything, posting spam in English and chatting in Vietnamese on the same site, while Indian spammers were more likely to post spam related to something in India.
 
@Magisch domain tagging isn't really time-sensitive (I don't think it's actively used in detecting/flagging spam, just in reporting).
 
@Willeke Well, as far as I see, both India & Vietnam spammers are the most active ones at SE sites.
 
Many of the 'English' spam posted was such poor English that is was obvious that the person preparing the post did not understand English at all.
And in that chat we had with the one guy we also got the impression one of the group would have some (very small) knowledge of English and the others not even enough to be familiar with the alphabeth.

How about proactively watching domains which did not show up on SE but in other off-site spam?
 
@Willeke Their English grammar usually worse or not even know how to make proper sentences, just helping anyone identify those posts easily.
 
@ByteCommander That list would be too long.
 
I would err on the side of not doing that. Spam domains are in the millions and constantly discarded.
 
7:58 AM
Okay, just checked the domain in my spam mail against MS out of curiosity and found it had no record.
leaving it then
 
@Magisch They're actually more than zillions. Every time one of them nuked, others may appear.
 
One of our group always claimed that all .info addresses were bad. But I know a few very good information sites on .info domains.
 
Most of them often utilizing free or cheap hosting services/companies with minimal cost.
 
@Glorfindel I would make an exception, though - new pharma sites.

LPChipWe have spammers on the site. Normally, you vote them down + flag: spam. However, if the spammer also self-answers their own post with an answer (that is also spam btw), what do we do to the answer? Also vote down + flag:spam? or also delete vote the answer?
