The spamho's are here: claim your bounty
 
Believe it or not, there are outfits in the Philippines and other areas that employ people to join forums all day long and post spam. Unlike a spambot, they can get around the security question, they do understand English.




It's pretty easy to spot them.
  • First, they are usually a brand new member, so their Join Date is the current month.
  • They make a post and they really don't say anything. Not complete gibberish, and often they refer to the thread topic, but their statement is a few sentences of generic verbage.
  • They almost always have a link in the post or their signature to a commercial crapsite, you know, one of those websites that is just a landing portal for selling crap.
  • You can view theit forum profile and Google their username or their some part of their profile biography and see immediately if they are a member of every forum in the 'Verse. For example, the Biography for the spamhole "pretty women" listed I am sheela parkar news reporter as its bio.
So, if you think you have found a spamhole, hit the Bad Post Report. It is greatly appeciated! :shucks:
