I certainly don't know that was what this post was all about. But I can usually confirm they are very active spammers with the help of sites like BotScout, so they don't last long enough on that forum to see what they are up to. I'm not sure what the logic is, maybe it is just to establish themselves in the forum, maybe it is an intent to come back later and edit their spam URLs into the posts. I moderate on a different forum, and have seen over the years that spammers often post nonsense or noise posts ('thanks for that info' type of things). He was just putting stupid comments taking dozens of very old topics to the top of the list - why? nobody ever figured out why.Īfter several warnings he was booted forever from the forum. It wasn't like he was saying - Oh, I have a question about this. It wasn't like he was saying - oh, I have this problem too, can you help me?
Well, a few years ago I was involved in a forum where there was one guy who made comments on threads that were years old.
