Seems like a lot of work for zero return on your add campaign not to mention you just wind up pissing people off. Is there something that I'm missing here? Can someone please explain it to me.
These type of forum spam is usually done with software, not by hand. The code, XRUMER or similar, typically hunts Google for forum sites that are known to use weak (or no) CAPTCHA or other type of challenge-response test. The bot does a user registration, then starts posting in as many forums as it finds available, then logs off and goes on to the next site.Sixstring said:I don't understand why people even try this approach, they know they and their posts are going to be deleted form the forum, in most cases before most even look at the thread.
