The spammer(s) that keeps posting technology news under the tinyurl links keeps on creating new accounts to get past filters. It's shameful behavior, clever, but shameful. Still, I'd be willing to bet that he's probably a huge disappointment to his mother.

As for actual spammers? I have so many accounts filtered now, it's crazy. I just checked, and I have 52 filtered users. Only a handful of them are legitimate posters.
