Well, that's one improvement that should be easy to implement. 

The most common form of online forum/comment spam these days seems to be "My roommate makes $758 a week just working on the computer! No I didn't believe it either, until I went here: skinmealive.com"

Whomever is involved in this particular scam must post literally millions of these comments a day. I see them on virtually every blog or newspaper comments. 

I am not angry with those that actually do that just a little peeved by it. Those that set it up and get big bucks for it are the ones I have a real problem with. Then there are those that contract for it and they should be ashamed. There should be some sort of penalty for contracting for it. 

If they are resellers the producer should take action against the ones engaging in this behavior. But then that wont happen.

You do know that they never check back to see if they got any responses right?
They hit and run so to speak. 
   

I guess most hit and run but I have actually seen another MO develop recently - tag team spammers. Post an innocent looking but probably irrelevant question, to which the other member replies with the spam. There is one brewing in the Software forum at this very moment. I don't know who they think they are fooling.

    It seems we have a persistent troll. I hate to say this but my anger is growing. I went to the troll's profile and 4 posts in various forums here.  I'm beginning to have visions of tar and feathering.  

When you see a spam post please don't reply to it. By replying all you do is keep it up top and actually help the spammer. CW will take care of it in due time. The thread will be removed and the spammer banned. However if you think what you post on such a thread is gone forever you would be mistaken. Somewhere it will be archived. So don't post there and don't say anything you wouldn't want your children to read if you do.  

I feel like I've fallen into a time tunnel, and have been transported back to the year, 2007!

I don't understand what is so hard about blocking these posts. Surely the administrator of this forum must have the means to block posts that have a certain phrase in them? If so, all they'd have to do is pick a unique phrase from that post, something that is extremely unlikely to be posted in an innocent non-spam context, and the spam scum would be frantically trying to work out exactly which 3 words of their massive spam post were causing the block.. If I were them, I'd just give up. 

What troll ?
 Maybe this ;D : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yly_wF8DyE8
