I've just received the following message from a user named turing:

Hey,

I'm new here, how's it going?

"The most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently" - Pema Chodron"

There was also a strange link in the user's signature, I'm not going to post it here as it seems unnecessary.

Off with his head, I say!

Edit: Forgot the link to his profile: http://ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=20927

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.
