Live and let live only goes so far, and it does NOT extend as far as sig link spammers!

just my 2cents opinion.. for me and rest of my friends .. just follow the forum rules... particpate when you can participate and shut up when dont know what to write .. geee anyone agrees?

Yes, most people rely on this activity to earn money, but is it reasonable enough to make one community look like a trash because of this stupid activity that people are doing?

We must at least give consideration to the forum owner and members. They are here because of one goal, to make the community alive for a longer time without any negativity on it.

Sig pimps are funny.

For example:
On my website, I have a forum ( that is very empty ) its basically used so i can fill in FAQ section and fill it with Tips for other users of my site.

Anyway,
There was a post only a few weeks ago from some one.

It was a reply to a post i made regarding how to quickly do some stuff with Javascript and Ajax.

The reply was something along the lines of ..
I remember when i had spilt some ajax on my sink, This post really helped clean it up.
You can find more info about my problem here [link]


Anyway, I deleted it quickly.



What i dont understand is...
Are these real people? and they just dont bother with the context of a thread?

Or are they some kind of clever robot that's taking some keyword and just filling in some random paragraph?

They are easy enough to spot though.

Why not check out my website below... /s

A lot of forums also have a "Spam your Warez here" section. And they just allow people to spam all kinds of crap there.

It helps keep it away from other more useful normal category's.

Yep. And some aren't that clever about it.

A lot of forums also have a "Spam your Warez here" section

We have one of those it seems, though we call it the "Affiliate program forum"

But that's probably because "Af" comes before "AS"

Lol touché Mr Chris.

Anywho...

While they are nor clever, They are clever.. If that makes sense?

I mean, It must be quite a complex system to be able to hunt down forums, Register and then post.

To be able to post something vaguely on topic is quite an achievement.

I made a bot once, I think its in use still. I called it "Lynxus"
( Well thats what it registered as. )
I think it grew A.I after some time "Albeit not the most intelligent" and ran away from my server. /s

In a lot of case the registration is done by humans, they "employ" "freelancers" to create hundreds (if not thousands) of forum accounts and random gmail accounts or some other freebie mail provider that isn't blocked by forum (yet)

www gmailbank.com/ for example.
