Maybe there should be a site policy to only allow starting a topic after a number of posts. Then again, the spammer would just post in the good threads.
yep Dara, it's a never ending battle, especially for good sites..you know how it is. We are fortunate to have good staff that stays on top of things..IMO
spammers come in varieties.
There are spammers that spam for money. They seem to think that it's an occupation they can do and can do while sitting on their fat ass all day long. By spamming links onto popular sites, they gain rep kindza. Which in turn equals bigger money from supporter (google or whoever). Search engines such as google do promote and pay for this type of spamming. It increases the google sites that aren't that popular into a popular site cause it's been linked to a site like ours. The more popular sites that google carries means the more popular google is in their sponsers view, so more money
There are spammers that do it to promote and or recruit members for their own website. These spam their site thru private messages and thru forum posts. That's especially unkooth.
I think unkooth is a word and if not then it should be and should be used to describe certain spammers we have seen
