Spam? Here? Yes, and you can kick it.

Is there a chance they could be harvesting E-mail addys? I'm somewhat clueless as to why they are posting hidden links in threads?

I'm an annoying human with a terrible sub-sim addiction not a spammer.

It's true, I checked.

The paranoia sets in.......Every Newb is going to be welcomed then scrutinized

LOL! I've popped two of them little low-lifes over the last few days.

To be honest... its a little bit fun smackin' 'em up a bit.

Which reminds me... I'm hungry. I bought some ACTUAL spam at the grocery store about an hour ago. Its not bad really. (Though I don't recommend the version with tobasco sauce... It makes ya pay for it again later.

)

Somehow they get paid for every link they place, invisible or not.

It is kind of like those double-click programs were the individual is paid for each click on the mouse for a particular site.

Onkel Neal · 09-30-09, 12:22 PM

Yep, that's right.

Ok, I have updated post #1, let me know if you cannot see the images.

Also, I am offering a Subsim Ping Prize to the scalphunter who can find the most spam ho's that have posted prior to Sept. 30. So, if you have some cool ideas about Googling Subsim credit or Subsim Nike, Subsim How to convert any DVD, etc, or you want to use the Community Search feature and look over members with 1 post, etc. I will award the person who finds the most spammers a Subsim Ping Prize. First person to find each unique spammer gets credit for that one.

Post your findings here, I will keep track of them. I will count the ones who have been found and listed in this thread, and the ones reported this week, too, so Darkfish, Pioneer, Firewall, and all who have found one, you are already in the game!

Contest ends Oct 11.

thanks!
Neal
