Mods: List of spammers w/ links & search terms

[DarkeSword]

They could be bots, just incomplete bots that don't know how to spam forums.

It's possible...
No, most spam accounts are created by part-timers who are basically paid to sign up for websites all day and fill out account info. That's how they get past captchas and stuff.

The main goal is to just get a link with keywords into a forum signature, because forum profiles are indexed by search engines, and that increases the SEO for their advertised websites.

Not a bot, but apparently a spammer:

All three posts advertise a website.

EDIT: n/m, Rozo already covered this one.

This guy. His only two posts were "sfdsfdsfdsfds" and a news article copypaste involving Graceland in the Requests board.

Could be wrong, but his only post so far has been a link to various escort services.

Kinda messed up when you see the topic they were posted in.

Started two threads, one advertising an audio converter the other topic title 'dsdd' was just a post of random letters.

This FL thread (http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=797234) looks like this off-site thread (http://www.theflipsideforum.com/index.php?topic=21013.0), except the former also included text from quote, notify and reply links.

Why does asking for FL help on two different FL forums = spam?

Using the exact same phrasing and including text from forum buttons and a long sig suggests copy-pasting, possibly by a context-sensitive crawler. Most ppl would just write the text anew, and ppl would probably use Image-Line's own forums for this anyway if they weren't registered here already.

It's not spam if he's asking a legit question, even if he asks the same question in two places.

Seems like a professional music library publisher would do some actual research instead of spamming random music and/or game forums. :tomatoface: Stone Cold Publishing seems like just another spammer (http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=817191).
