Our spammers are now famous authors!

Wow! We have Zane Grey, John Grisham, and WEB Griffin posting here!
How undercover of our spammers....LOL.


What do you picture when you think of these people?

I'm picturing a call-center type room full of folks in India posting their hidden links in as many places that they can find to do so and getting a penny for each one....and it stinks in that room!
I want this button:

It appears to me as just one person doing it all or shall I say one software program that has a list of prechosen chosen usernames and posts to the forum at the same time everyday using usually the first part of the sentence from the first post and leaving 2 cockeyed smileys at the end with one always missing.It has to be some kind of automated software doing it because it has the same pattern everyday.I think someone is testing out software using the forum.At least they wait till the board is asleep to use it as I notice the posts aren't there till I wake up in the morning.

Not any more.

I know-you know, we're doing our best to keep the clutter they make off the boards. Just ignore them. Which ever mod gets up first deletes all their garbage. Today it just happened to be me.

Wow, I'm surprised you'd write something so racist. Usually your posts are so balanced.

Not racist ,as it has already been confirmed by MyCoupons that all the posts were being made from India.

Did they also confirm that the place stinks and the people there are working for a penny per link?

You can call it racist if you want. It's fairly well documented, both here and elsewhere, that India is responsible for a very high percentage of internet/email spam. As for how much people are working for, a penny per link had nothing to do with the country where it's coming from....I'd figure that's just a going rate for that kind of thing. Afterall, many in the US click on penny links through rewards sites, don't they?

As for stinks...third world countries tend to not be as hygiene-conscious as the US, and yeah, I'd imagine that it stinks. It's not racist, it's just a fact. In my line of work, we occasionally have issues with folks coming from other countries/cultures and having body odor issues that have to be dealt with. I do not recall a similar situation with non-foreign nationals, but I'm sure it happens just not to my first-hand knowledge, Also, lots of my contacts in Iraq and Afghanistan have talked about the odor of the folks that they are mentoring....these folks just don't have access or income to spend "frivolously". But if you think I'm a racist, I'm OK with that too.
