I thought we were pretty laid back over potential membership, we only allow human beings and selective extra terrestrials but no bots or spammers.

spam bots, spam bots, ... what a mess.

You have to know the facts before you can distort them.

watch the Gattaca movie and see we are all invalids
(invalids there are natural borns, vs genemodified humans)

I watched that movie and liked it   :t
Maybe soon we'll see Programming DNA library in MASM32 package and hardware interface for it (designed by our members )  :biggrin:
MS is already working on it:

How about deleting all posts with a post=1 count, unless they have registered within a random delay time of accepting ?

Just an idea

There should be an automatic function allowing links only after one week of membership. That would stop all "link spammers", because they won't come back after one week to edit their profiles.

Btw at least two of these idiots still have active links - check the middle icon under the avatar. So they do push their google scores.

Reply #22 is almost a year old and still contains a link to some Russian website - it's obvious SEO spam.

The point is to get links pointing to your target website from other websites which already have a good reputation, thus boosting the target website's reputation. So, as long as their links remain, regardless of the state of their profile, it will continue to be a successful tactic. Spammers' profiles need to obliterated, not just disabled and signature removed.

Possible defensive solution: disable setting of signature and website link for members with profiles less than 30 days old, and possibly require a few (valid) posts. Spamming would then require far more dedication than is worth the trouble.

why not. But there's one prerequisite: Not more work for the moderators. If this is guaranteed, no problem.

That was exactly my point. Therefore, the members need to be vigilant in the future.
