BOSS YOUR MAILBOX IS FULL!

Hello, can't PM you as it won't let me. It says your mailbox is full. Spammer on Introduction  thread needs banning. Have noted which one for you in heading etc.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Re: BOSS YOUR MAILBOX IS FULL!

There are three pages of new threads opened by this spambot. I managed to send a PM to the Boss this morning. But I do not have the time to delete three pages manually.

Re: BOSS YOUR MAILBOX IS FULL!

Thank you, Boss and Davina. That was really unnerving and is just unnecessary work for you.
I just wonder what those trolls want to achieve? Maybe I'm too blue-eyed but what is behind this?

They want to get click-throughs, usually.

Not necessarily click throughs. Websites with lots of links to it used to do better in SEO rankings. I think Google has changed that now, but still you see dodgy sites trying to get higher ratings by posting random links on forums and blog comments.

Interesting. I didn't realize the bots hadn't caught up with the Google algorithms yet. (I guess they don't bother to ever shut them down once they are released.)

Re: BOSS YOUR MAILBOX IS FULL!

Well, they're not self-organising. They're not that clever (yet). But I don't know a great deal about them.

Re: BOSS YOUR MAILBOX IS FULL!

Ugh, I have so many messages I need to get rid of....
