New Member: Kaneweber. Possibly a Lurker with Dangerous Links

[Ataraxis]

I was PMed on multiple accounts a generic text, and in his signature there's a link for freehostia. It looked fishy, so I did a research on kaneweber, and found out that the name is that of a lurker on multiple other forums, who sends links out that make your mouse crash and other such things. Now I can't be sure about this, but I advise people to be careful. If a mod could check it out, I'd feel much safer.

The situation has been taken care of thanks to Serilliant --- thank you for alerting us to this!

All of his sent PMs have been deleted and the account banned. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Edit: Wow, he sent upwards of about 650 PMs. To almost every active member aside from mods and admins, it seems. Very hazardous.

How irritating... That sort of thing really sets me off.

Thanks for letting us know, though, and thanks to Serry for slaying the account.

[Rith]

I was wondering why I got that message... Thanks though.

[streak101]

i just can't believe I replied back....boy am I naive....

[ApocalypseDolly]

Eh, I replied too. =P

[Yamihara]

Hahaha. My sis replied to. Poor girl. ;)

I was about to say this about 8 hours ago, but I had limited connection. Thanks for bringing it up, Ataraxis. :)

Yeah I got a PM from that guy too. I clicked his link 'cuz I was curious. Had no idea that some people have experienced virus issues with him. I'm glad I use a Mac :).

[Ataraxis]

650? That's... a lot more than I expected. Oo

Glad I could be of service. I just hope no one had any problem with the PMs before the slaying.

And don't worry, I would have replied too if I hadn't gotten the exact same PM on five of my accounts, all sent within ten minutes.

Whew...I'm glad I didn't get a chance to read it...it sends shivers down my spine to know that I could've been a victim. Thanks for the vigilance, Ataraxis!(^_^)
