Awesome Bot Trying to Sign On
I got a bot hanging fire: "platypus" with an almost believable email address, CA IP, not listed in any greylist or spam registry BUT has a dynamic IP (could be legit). I sent an email asking for a personal response; don't expect one, but I've got 10 minutes invested in this dude. If I had to put 10 minutes into every bot, I'd never get time to post.

Do you think these bots are from China Martin? When you say dynamic ip address does that mean the request came from a phone? If so, how can you tell?Martin Hash wrote: ↑Tue Nov 27, 2018 6:18 pmI got a bot hanging fire: "platypus" with an almost believable email address, CA IP, not listed in any greylist or spam registry BUT has a dynamic IP (could be legit).

Platypus was a DCF username.
Maybe he can tell us what's up with that Greg Swann guy.

What if Platypus was really Rick Swann to begin with?

Forget about George Swann. I’m still wondering if Dan knows that WTC7 fell on 9/11. Five or six years later and I’m still not sure!Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 3:19 pmWhat if Platypus was really Rick Swann to begin with?
