Guest 16:50:39 Reporting a topic to a moderator. This one? Title: Re: Users On Line Post by: Nemo on Sunday, August 3, 2008, 15:21:45 I imagine the Fenerbache match thread thats filled with spambots.
Title: Re: Users On Line Post by: Barry Scott on Sunday, August 3, 2008, 15:30:08 I'd fucked up some permissions in the Match Day thread thing and the bots didn't even have to register. Stupid me. All sorted now. God i hate those cunty link building bots.

Title: Re: Users On Line Post by: Barry Scott on Sunday, August 3, 2008, 15:59:22 Forum Bots, such as Xrumer (http://www.botmaster.net/more1/), are programs that essentially automate the registration and posting process for forums inlcuding access by proxy, using proxy scraping, scraping Wikipedia and blogs, scraping RSS feeds and automatic generation of gmail accounts and activation.
The owners of the bots can fill up the bot with predefined posts, or allow it to post scraped content, and then using created information the bot will access forums and use them for backlinks (links pointing to sites they are promoting using keyword rich anchor text) and also promote via pm based spam. :technobabble: Title: Re: Users On Line Post by: RobertT on Monday, August 4, 2008, 18:40:59 I prefer to consider them as miniature sized robots formed from Spam tins.
They are pesky little buggers and usually seem to be Russian selling various pharacuticals or the latest Celeb you'd like to see naked. Title: Re: Users On Line Post by: wiggy on Monday, August 4, 2008, 19:26:28 A spambot could show me Johnny Vegas naked? Cool, where do I sign up?
