The End of RC5-72?

Challenges need to be carefully set up. It must be legal - hacking a deployed system in the face of the objections of the owner won't fly. It must be credible,in that there must be no reason to suspect collaboration between the challenger and the attacker. It must be realistic - it should model a real-world

Maybe a stupid question but what do you smoke before posting?

Might be me off course ....

Personally I think it has more to do with what he eats

And personally I don't think this guy is 'real' ...

If you look at the posts he did... seems like bits of random text 'he' pulled from somewhere on the net...

True, his former post is a copy of a post on this URL

Somewhere near the end just above the name

Guys, I'm always one of the first to kick spammers of the forum (you should know how many ...), mostly even before they even get a chance to post something. Before I do ban an account I first do a check of certain data. If I have any doubt if it concerns a real person or not I always prefer to wait and see what happens.

In this case the person is not known as spammer and there is nothing in his account which makes me doubt. His posts are not spam either just a 'little' weird and one is indeed a copied part of a post elsewhere (but he is not the first to copy part of a post to post it elsewhere). So I still give him the advantage of doubt till he posts something which we really can consider as spam.

Advantage of doubt, ok...
But where have his real links (in his signature) gone?

They all seem to point to boinc.be now...
Yesterday when I hovered over them, I remember seeing an all different link, but didn't want to click through...
Now they're gone...

That's right, part of my procedure is checking such links and if needed asking an explanation. If in doubt I replace the original link by www.boinc.be till I get an answer. In the beginning I left the link because of the "what did he drink, no eat..." joke.

Untill now I didn't yet ban any real person and I want to keep it that way. So I prefer to be put some time and effort in it then to take the easy solution and risk banning a normal user.

It seems you guys are really in a hurry to ban some one. If any one wants to take over just give a yell and I retire immediately.

Giorgiooo my friend, you're doing a great job, and it's because of you this forum is so nicely moderated.

I'm sure nobody is in for a quick ban, I guess we're all just a bit suspicious of this one case
(or no, let me speak for myself: I am...)
