This is one of the reasons I use a mod that won't let new members post links. Once a forum hits a certain page rank, people seem determined to try to exploit it. I made it easier for legitimate members to join and play by removing email verification reqirements. But, I am doing my best to thwart spammers.
It's a shame that some people are just so slimy that we have to worry about this stuff. Another really sad thing is that we seem to acquire some spam from the membership here. Somebody seems to have hacked up a vbulletin referrer spam script. I turned off my stats and haven't looked in a while to see if the clowns are still running it, but for a while there, I got spammed by several vbulletin owners a day.
