| The Awesome One | I really wish when something was moved into here you'd leave the original message intact, and just add on to it. That way I can guage how horrible of an edit to make to the post based on the severity of the original post. Meh.

| The Awesome One | No, I know you didn't. I think it was Brikar. And I'm not complaining, just a suggestion for future Toilet lurkers.

![]() | Sorry. I was the one that edited it first. It was some lame thing like "hey guys nice site" bla bla bla, but every period and space was a link to a porno search or some such.

![]() | I think I was the first one to tamper with it, I tried editing it but couldn't find a button that would save the changes, so I closed the window. What effect does it have when punctuation marks are hyperlinks? Does it effect metatags or something? BTW: it was a russian spammer |

![]() | I play an IT Administrator on TV, therefore I am qualified to give legal advice and perform cranial surgery. You can trust me. Seriously, this kind of shit (spammers trying to use internet boards to harvest suckers) really blows. I'm not entirely sure how to stop it at the outset, because this board uses distorted text images (I forget what it's called) to thwart automated user registration, so this guy must have manually registered. I'm assuming that he'll be banned (I wouldn't expect this kind of thing to be tolerated, since we only want drunks, not commie spammers )....LLaP

![]() | I wish I understood how those particular types of spam messages are actually profitable to these people. It seems kind of arbitrary, I don't see how embedding a hyperlink in a punctuation mark does any good, unless it's using spiders to further transmit data or something somewhere else down the line. |
