There is a huge wave of spambots hitting forums of all kinds all over the internet atm.
What is a spambot ? Well its a program that sniffs up less secure messageboards, register itself, and post random poorly spelled (most of these originate out of asia and eastern europe) questions or statements, with a link to one of the sites, it want us to check out.
It's all automated, and is just an advanced for of spammail, so no need to reply to the posts. Noone reads it, cause noone posted it. Its a program..
Very very annoying, but if just 1 person gets interested, they got what they wanted.
Only one way to avoid these spambots, are to up the security on how you register to a board. Like having to read a number/text in a deform picture and type it back into a form..
