I volunteer help to boinc. I recevied a message from a user that they are getting spam from the following IP with the following link: I am receiving spam comments to my blog from this URL http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/view_profile.php?userid=9030088 with this IP address: 66.232.103.247 When you click on the link it take you to setiathome and profile is advertising Viagra. I think that advertising of this sort should be banned and certain spam associated with a profile such as this should cause the account to be dropped. |

This sort of thing is known about, and there are procedures for dealing with it. Have you told a moderator at SETI about it? That's part of why they're there. |

IP address: 66.232.103.247 Which was identified as a comment spammer by Project Honey Pot more than 6 months ago. If more blog providers joined the project and used its HTTP blacklist service the problem would soon go away. Of course that would reduce their traffic numbers ...
