You know what? I'm going to start a group.

"Spambot hunter society!"

We root through the forums and archives and member lists, and find and report all the spambots. if any new ones pop up, we report them instantly (or, if any mods or Admins join, we have the power to destroy them.)

I'd join. I'll help to creat the guidlines for finding non-posting spambots.

I'll ask Star Way or one of the admins if we can start this group.

Oh, and if you want to join, just put "Member of the Spambot Hunter Society." in your sig.

And Reesane?

Go for it.

Just one idea though:

We should make a list of the Satanbots, instead of submitting them one by one.

I think an admin would be a better person to ask.

As soon as I saw RickSims I knew he'd be trouble! There's a thread in GD.

You guys sure do get a lot of these things, more than I've seen in any forum. :nyeh!:

The spambot that Reesane posted. I was checking his website to see if it was a spambot, and my computer screen went blank, so I ran a virus scan and found three new viruses.

Oh, and... Patio... furniture... bot. THERE's a couple words I never thought I'd use in the same sentence...

A...patio furniture bot? o.O;;


Anyway, that's why I'd highly suggest against going to a spambot's website. You can usually tell if it's fake just by looking at the URL, clicking on it usually isn't necessary.

Okay, okay, see, I didn't know! The website title looked weird, not a real obvious one like "Buy-morgage.net" or something stupid like that, and I was hoping that it was somebody's personal web page. Innocent mistake!

Oh, and I'm pretty sure this is a spambot, but I'm not exactly sure.
