I've been noticing a lot of spam here lately in the early hours. I think it's a ridiculous waste of time for the them, us and mostly the administrators since they are the ones that have to take the time to remove it. Do they actually think anyone will click on their links when they are so obnoxious to fill just about every section with one of their ads?

Thanks! It just didn't occur to me to do a search using the keyword spam. I usually do use the search option quite frequently.

Actually, I think a lot of that sort of spam is auto-generated and there's not someone sitting there posting it. I could be wrong, since I am very definitely not a tech-head, but I think that I've heard spammers can write a script that searches the 'net for e-mails (for e-mail spam) and forum addresses (for forum spam), and then automatically sends the spam out. Kind of like the auto-dialed, recorded telephone spam that we all used to get at dinner time before the blessed days of the National Do-Not-Call Registry.
