Not to be disrespectful, but Ive seen some folks in here work really hard just to get a link on this forum. If you do just a little searching and research there's ways to get solid backlinks from sites that have page rank with out having to do all this work and get your links removed.

If you are trying to come up with a post to get a link on this site, you're working way dumb and should instead spend a couple of hours on google and you can find tons of solutions.

personally I go with zero tolerence and ban them all.

I will vote for only after purchase membership to forum .... and certainly no more permission for guests to post....

Guests (like in most other forums) should have read rights only

Pity one can not start a voiting pole here as then we could have a vote on how we registered members feel concerning guests posting often spam and possibly CC would change the rules for Guests.

yeah the way they are going they can just change names and come back as quick as they left.........

On some other forums you have to be registered and have to have 10 posts before you can add a link or any HTML code in your message.

If it's technical possible with this forum than maybe it's something to consider?

Dick if they really want to spam they will add the 10 posts.

To be hoenst it is so darn stupid and goes to show those who spam in this manner really know nothing about SEO. Further what do they achieve ???... nothing really......... is becomes a temporary link which is soon removed and they don't get many if any hits at all as most people can see directly it is spam and avoid visiting the websites.

Ho yes, they do achieve one thing.........annoy us

Yeah that's true, but it makes the barrier a bit higher still.

I think we will be surprised about the fruits they gather with their spamming, otherwise it would be a dying matter years ago.

If from the 1 million internet users only 0.01% buy something of a value of $10.00, than I would make a cool $1,000.00 with very minimal investment. If you're from India or the Philippines than this is a lot of money.

You have always a category of people that fall for it and spend their money on often inferior products. The online crowd are too many and too diverse to get rid of spam.

Trace and prosecute is till now the best way I think. International laws are still insufficient to deal with it world-wide.

Just my 2 cents.

it's just like spamming wp blogs. only in maybe 1 out of a 1000 will get through.

what get's me is some of these post are so elaborate like if they get a link with cc it will put them on the front page...lol

can be done in a few hours.
the waste of working to get one link on cc: priceless

not to mention some affiliate companies are cheap(believe it or not)!

Spammers? Where? - lemme at em http://www.pixieplots.co.nz/forum/images/smilies/charge.gif

Right - we've shut the main gate - only registered townsfolk can post now

As you were folks

Although do keep up the wonderful alertness - some weirdos may still try and sneak in
