All moderators know to simply delete the threads/posts. All that members can do is to ignore them completely until they're deleted, which usually doesn't take long.

I wonder what the int would be like, if a spambot could do ints and made one.

They aren't trying to. From reports of people who have actually clicked on the links that they put up, its not free porn at all, but horrid viruses, trojans, ad-ware, and other misc nasty things.

Obviously, you should never trust spambots.

On the plus side, these spambots are only here because we're getting much more traffic than we used to.

What is the point of viruses, I don't understand?

Apparently they are for advertisement, but when was the last time you had an indestructible


EXTRA STRONG I'm a bot!!

popup on your screen and then decided to buy some, after it having screwed up your computer.


It pisses me off, these people who create or order the spam bots need to find a new job.

as sad and unthinkable as it is, there are people who fall for this stuff constantly. Buying swiss watches from china, prescription medicine and education degrees online, and all that nonsense. Really, if there was nobody who bought into it, these people wouldn't be spamming.

And if someone could tell me why spambots have voted the CA forum as their favorite, I'd much appreciate it.

I already see the quote; "Before this battle ends, the world will know that TR stood against the spambots."

I am upgrading the forums and its security in an attempt to cut down on the spam/spammers.

Its slow going since I have no net access at home, as I have just moved.
