as you would expect we are currently the target of spam bots, just report and ignore and when a mod comes online it will get purged

the presumed goal of these bots is to get the links up in pagerank by plugging and the added text is bayesan generated flavor to fool spam filters

i personally think that walls of text in those post are messages to aliens, masked as gibberish in order to fool humans.

1. I can only report 1 spam every 15 seconds.
2. How do the moderators get the notifications? None a notification per report I hope or reporting the links is just ironically spamming the mods.
3. The older spam posts are not being purged. The moderators appear busy and/or the spam controls of this site are broken.
4. The spam is all apparently being posted by new accounts. Has the signup catchpa been defeated?

2. the reports per post get consolidated into 1 large report with a comment per report
3. report them, some mods look at the what's new list first to start purging, they are not online all the time either
4. yes it has

Paraphrased from Blazing Saddles: "You write purdier than a $20 whore"

Can I have your autograph? :D

[Edit] Did I maybe just coin a name for this particular spam-bot?

I dub thee $20 whore!

What amazes me is that most of them don't even make sense, and seem like a bunch of random words. I mean, what's the point of it all if you're not at least trying to sell me something?

the point is not to let the members of the forum click the link but to let the webcrawlers of websites see the link and rate it higher than they would otherwize

They're funny if you read them. Its a truly cerebral challenge to read that many incoherent words strung together. I marvel at it actually. Its like watching someone sculpt a dragon from papier-mache made of toilet tissue.
