It is funny to me. you would thing the bot would scan for topics that led into the products they sell. I did report it to DallanC but it doesn't anger me as it might those who get to clean it up.
It happens to all sites and the fact that we are not a "secure" site makes it a bit easier.
Just join me and laugh at it.

I generally delete spam posts, but this is a legitimate question to answer, so I edited out the spammer body. Will nuke the thread later
The answer is, they arent bots anymore. They are chinese humans paid to manually sign up on sites and post spam. This makes it incredibly hard to detect and catch up front.
Possibly I could enforce rules where they are limited to a single forum for their first 10 posts or something... that would contain spam a slight amount anyway.

PS: I'm looking into the SSL thing... but these security certificates are kindof expensive to maintain. In fact it would double the website costs currently.
I need to bring this back up with my host and see if they have a cheaper solution.

DallaqnC,
We don't need the SSL - we don't sell or buy on the site and an occasional spam post can be comical.
Limiting a new members posts might be a way to limit it to one post or a few posts in an introduction forum, but ultimately it is up to you. I can dend a bit of money your way if needed.
Just let us know.
