Spam

Post by Allanon » Thu Nov 24, 2011 7:57 am

Is anyone else getting private messages from ****** which is a Windows blackhat SEO program that is able to register to forums and post spam?

This is the private message I got:
Message subject: Important! dude

Hi! how I can download the *****??
may be you know

P.S. ******* is a real power for mass posting to forums and blogs, I'm very need it!
Looking at AntuanetteTile's profile it lists SEO as occupation and interests which is why I think ***** is responsible.

I've seen a lot of spam on this forum lately maybe the admin should put a CAPTCHA on the registration page.


Edited by bernie: Removed the product name from post. No point in helping the spammers.

User deleted, IP banned;
Spam has increased during last months because all visual CAPTCHAs have been broken by spambots this year. I've already changed the spambot countermeasures to Q&A CAPTCHA which should work better...
