Default Spammers hiding their intentions.

One of the rules at Photoshopgurus.com is that members are not allowed to link to other sites in their first 25 posts.
We?re now dealing with a good example as why we introduced this rule, but more about that later.

We had a spam problem not long ago, which was luckily solved after a new update of the board?s software (image verification).

Spammers are like weed, they never stop. In this example they try to pretend to be a newmember with an innocent question.

Members who link to a page on another site (not a link to an image) always raise a red flag for me. In this example I?ve checked the member?s previous posts and the result can be seen here:



I will ban this person, but will not delete his posts so that they can serve as an example of how spammers work.

Sorry if I some of you answered his posts, but I do try to stop these guys as soon as possible (already stopped similar acting members (read spammers) a few times), but in this case I haven?t been on the board for a few days while doing other things.

If you have any doubts about a post, feel free to click on the Report to moderator link in the bottom right corner of every post and I will return to the board with a bottle of



as soon as possible.

Default Re: Spammers hiding their intentions.

Here's another example. Do they really think that I'm not seeing those things?

I used roundup again...
