Describe your Star Wars fandom. : love to do it

What attracts you to Star Wars D6?/Why do you like it? : suspense

How did you find The Rancor Pit? : FB

The suspense was killing me, so I looked and this guy is a major spammer. He loves to do it. I didn't share his requested username because it part of his email and that's obviously what he wants to happen because he plasters his name and email address all over the internet. Thankfully our Fb group doesn't get a lot of spammers since we went private.

These iffy ones have been stacking up this month. I wonder what forum spam fighting is going to be like with the rise of better AI for the bots...

Describe your Star Wars fandom. : Darth Vader

What attracts you to Star Wars D6?/Why do you like it? : I love it because I am a huge star wars fan alongwith a gamer.

What attracts you to Star Wars D6?/Why do you like it? : Google

This user's email address which includes the username was linked to an RPG.net account with the same requested username at the same time as this request. He posted a review of one of the TM season 3 episodes which was taken down because it was declared to have been written by a bot. I found the same username registered on a Boba Fett fan website which had posted the review. I read it. It was very oddly general about Star Wars and not really about that episode. Plus it misidentified characters and other general Star Wars things as having appeared in TM season 3 but actually hadn't. I had also seen some web activity from an account with the name that was generally talking about Star Wars video games.

Quote:
username: Achman76

fandom: Yup

why_like: easy, fun to play

how_found: dunno

Yup, if this is a real fan of WEG Star Wars, he needs to try harder to get through.

Quote:
username: toledo.crypto08

fandom: Pre disney

why_like: Ease of game

how_found: Lookingbaround for d6

The bottom three results could be from a real gamer, but the requested username gives me pause. I have seen spam trying to push cryptocurrency, and we'll have none of that here. Thank you.

Quote:
username: PhyllisHeny

fandom: Star Wars fans

why_like: Black Knight/cool

how_found: web

He tried to register twice with the same submission. I wonder what this spammer's primary language is. They gathered this site was Star Wars related, associate Vader with Star Wars, and the translator gave them "Black Knight" for however they described Vader. Not cool enough.

Quote:
fandom: love the original trilogy

why_like: elegant and fast

how_found: lookinh for rules erratta

I think this could be a real registration but some of the possible intended meanings of their requested username gives me pause, and I do not wish to post what it is. If this was a real person, please try again with a different username.

I wonder if someone will someday train AI to be more clever about these spam attempts.

username: gamefabrique

fandom: Darth Vader is crazy

why_like: It is awesome RPG, i love retro games

how_found: Google engine

Darth Vader is crazy. This is the at least the second spam request to reference "retro games" a term usually used to reference old video/computer RPGs. Just to be sure, I checked the email address and of course it had a recent hit on a spam reporting website. This fabricated gamer can drive his engine somewhere else.

Describe your Star Wars fandom. : Star Wars is a highly popular and influential science fiction franchise created by George Lucas

What attracts you to Star Wars D6?/Why do you like it? : the Star Wars D6 game offers a unique opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in the Star Wars universe, create their own stories, and engage in collaborative and imaginative gameplay with others who share their love for the franchise.

How did you find The Rancor Pit? : google

Well, he tried. He didn't understand the fandom question so just described Star Wars. I do really like his description of Star Wars D6 though!

I didn't share the requested username because it is the name of a German website for a travel agency that sells trips to Africa (supposedly). The registrant's email address is literally the email address for contacting the agency for information about their travel packages. They must be pretty desperate to sell African vacations to Germans if they are trying to spam this forum.
