Re: [Haskell-cafe] International Conference on Applied Data Science and Intelligence - (ADSI 2021) Prague

Agreed. Doesn't even matter if the conferences are fake or real; they are clearly off-topic, and that poster does not post anything else, so, blocking the account is quite reasonable.

I would like to renew my request to block this fake conference spammer. This sort of business is disgusting and offensive.

Seconded. There have been seven spam posts from this poster in the last 5 weeks.

But then we enter the discussion who considers what conferences as fake.

I don't think we need to do that. We can just observe that since 28th January the poster has posted seven messages to Haskell Cafe on the subjects of

* International Conference on Recent Theories and Applications in Transportation * International Conference on Applied Data Science and Intelligence * International Conference on Informatics Revolution for Smarter Healthcare

none of which have anything to do with Haskell.

If you think that the announcements are constantly off-topic, you might ask the sender to unsubscribe from the mailing list.

My experience dealing with internet spam makes me think this course of action is less likely to lead to a desired outcome than asking the moderators to block the account!
