A possible fix to spam links by new posters

[Scooby074]

Heres one more. Now he only posted once, so im not "calling him a spammer" but read his post and look at his username and signature.. its suspicious. His post isnt complete nonsense, but it doesnt fit with the thread either.

When you think of the traffic that TBN gets, google searches, advertising etc.. it pays off for these companies to spam like this. More links on more sites means higher google rankings which means more money

Take the link in his sig for " Vinyl stickers printing" and follow it. It leads to a website Printingray.com. Then search that name, and you'll find it spammed over many forums . Including this thread over ar snowmobile wold http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77026

As you can see, things dont quite smell right

Jason, the could setup a captcha that one would have to go through to put a link in a signature or even have a signature.

Actually, many of the captcha's have been cracked. So thats no guarantee. These sigs, and likely many of the posts were written by hand, so captchas wont stop a human spammer anyways... all that will do is annoy the rest of the "Good" members.

as i said, spammers are advancing by leaps and bounds. Ive heard of contract "call centre" type places in china and india, rooms full of people, and all they do all day is spam. Forum after forum.
