Can a mod please remove ThicTS they're posting explicit pics, I've removed them as spam but the profile pic is not good.
I can't post a link from my phone.

I think @sugaraddict4321 got this. Thanks for the flag @Jackie9003

I'm not sure what this guy is up to...but all 47 of his posts say the same thing, and it's about private messages....

Thanks, I am zapping, but will need a moderator to ban the user

Yeap certainly persistent! I will be heading to bed shortly (way passed my bedtime), hopefully not long before those on the other side of the world log in.

I don't know what's up with this person either, but the last 20 or so posts are all the same and ask for personal contact for a (seemingly) professional consultation :

LOLOLOLOL, I would just leave stephen and his latest reincarnation to the moderators at this point. If they can't IP-block him, well, then we just have to live with him:

He was banned yesterday.

He keeps creating new accounts. That was the third. I expect there will be a fourth.

There’s been waaaay more than four. Kudos to the mods. He’s back under a new one today, but just sending friend requests. I’ve posted several warnings to my friends list to at least keep them aware. Y’all might consider doing same.

is the same as this guy: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/Drmichaelmoore

It's pretty creepy that he is now using pictures of doctors as Avatars...trying to "friend" people. Ugh.

I wonder if it's the same source as the Stephentownsend ID variations a while back, similar pattern. And some image searched and that guy's photos were of a (real) general in the army actually named Stephen Townsend, almost certainly not the person actually posting.

Aren't catfishers always doctors, lawyers, engineers, army officers?

Oh, it's almost certainly the same guy or a group of them, there are a lot of romance scammers out there and they always use those kind of images.

So, yeah. I so want to "friend" him and see what he does.

Go ahead and take one for the team. I'd be interested in knowing that, too. I think the MFP staff will delete the profile, but I don't know that they're around on the weekends. They get to have lives, too, I suppose.

As you know, but others may not, the spam mods and regular mods are volunteers (just MFP users), so may be randomly around even on weekends.

He just FR me today.

Oooo, will the DM come before the staff gets him deleted? And what will it say?

I mean, you did accept purely in the interests of research, didn't you?

Here's another one: male user, kitten av, flowery language, bumping old threads, using the same "Let's be friends" hook in all his posts....hitting a lot of threads at one time...no other advice or answering the thread topic, just the same old same..
