The logs say I slipped up myself :-(  No need for a specific ban for
this one, since this is the only post in the last 30 days.  The problem
is that there are several different conference scammers.

Ah, I didn't realize that this was an ongoing issue.  Thanks for
getting rid of as many of them as you do.

It is off-topic.  Sorry that it got through.  We get dozens of these
every week, and the vast majority are rejected; I suppose some moderator
slipped up (might have been me).

I see that this is a repeat of an incident you already complained about
in January 2014.  Will look into what happened exactly, and if a ban is
warranted, I'll implement that.  Conference spammers have gotten pretty
annoying ...

This seems totally off-topic.  Shouldn't a post like this result in a ban?
