mithunt,
Is it purely coincidental that you and gowshika have almost identilcal links in your signatures that lead to the exact same site? :-k
What I'm noticing is the inappropriateness of their commentary. Doesn't quite fit in with the conversation. I don't think it is a bot, but I do think they are from a foreign country and english is not their native language.
Looks like to me their only purpose in being here is advertising that site and they appear to have no other posts.
Just some observations, but if I were doing the moderator thing, the posts from these two would have to go along with their memberships. If they want to advertise here, they ought to pay like other folks do that show up at the top of the page.
Hi Dave,
Yes you are correct, these guys are real and not bots. Bots have not been able to circumvent the registration process......yet. These 2 clowns were both from India. I have banned half of India, Russia, and China. Whenever I get a member from there, I get the funny links in the signatures.
They do this so that way the search engines scan my site and give them extra "weight" in the search engines for ranking.
When we catch them (Good catch Waterwings =D> ) I ban their whole IP range and delete the user and posts. So far it only seems to be 1-2 per month. The problem is that I cant keep up with all posts so In this case I am glad Waterwings caught it and let me know.
