I did'nt realise it was spam until I did the translation to english....it was so darn funny I had to repost it. Why ever would you want to spread spam about contract excrement removal......something from Monty Python perhaps?

The text of the spam is irrelevant. It is only the links in the text that are important. The content is meaningless. Spammers get paid for the number of messages and multiple link "hits" all over the place. That is why they post on forums. It makes them more money.

That is why you see spam that talks about things that have absolutely nothing at all to do with the links or sites they are "promoting".

I am digging my new power to delete these users. SPAM? ZAP! SPAM? SPLAT! Like shooting fish in a barrel. Yeehaa. The only drawback is I can't delete the posts AND the user. I can "clear" the posts but then empty posts are left behind... it looks too cluttered to me so I delete them by hand first then remove the user. This is really cutting down on the spam because so many times the same user would just keep hitting the forum from that account. Slows them down a tad.
