SteveFord Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yep. Doesn't this site have a Report Post or Report Topic button? There it is, I shall use my super powers and report this bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yep. Doesn't this site have a Report Post or Report Topic button? There it is, I shall use my super powers and report this bird. Pls tell me where to find the "report spam" button or whatever it is. I've looked but couldn't find anything like it or the "Ignore poster" option. This is just total Bull$hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeyGhost Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yeah, I have no idea if it was a real (?) person or a bot. I'm guessing it'd be relatively easy to use a sentence generator for the title of a thread and then do a cut and paste. Just a lot of wasted effort as far as I'm concerned because eventually the posts will be deleted and I have a hard time believing any other member of this forum would be so stupid to actually take any notice of the moron's drivel in any case. Now on the matter of spam, it is the most dreadful, inedible can of what is laughingly called food, I have ever tried. I think I should report myself for even mentioning that horrible stuff.

Guest Farnsbarns Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 It's about back links for search engine optimisation. These crooks charge unwitting companies to increase back links and Google ranking. Then they spam hundreds of forums which rapidly has the desired effect, receive their money, then Google notice what's going on with their clever algorithms and and not only is all the good undone but they punish the site in question for this activity and drop their rank. It's a bit old fashioned and I can't believe people are still making money from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelhamBlueFire Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Every forum has these clowns, and they usually don't last very long. They mostly end up getting banned after a couple of warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Mr Thug is still very much in the list of active users today, though his post count has gone a bit tacet as we say in t'trade....
