- عمليات طفل الأنبوب و الحقن المجهري في تونس (user: DR Skander Ben Alaya)
(translation: “operations tube children and ICSI in Tunisia”)
(spam for a Tunisian-based gynaecological clinic, supposedly from one of it’s doctors) - Globale Protection (user: Globale Protection)
(spam for web security company based in the Ivory Coast, Africa) - Надувной мешок Lamzac от “Junkstore” (user: Junkstore)
(spam for UA company Junkstore)
(zero map edits since 5 Oct; pure spam)

Note that by adding entries citing the spams you also increase the noise in the diary.
If somebody is reading your post about the spam, most probably they also also saw the spam (thus it’s not needed to write about them).

Hi @naoliv
Your words are interesting & would be applicable if only Junkstore (as the obvious example) had been removed 23 minutes later, rather than still in place 23 days later. So, sorry, but you are speaking the exact opposite to the truth.
