    It seems to me that I once read on here that new members to the forum are somewhat moderated in that any links included in the first few messages are stripped out automatically. Then once the new member is determined to be, well, not a spammer, the links are restored to their signatures. I agree, the syntax is very bizarre. I've reported a number of these as well.

    I went looking and found one. Somewhat a circular statement.

    And LPH, about those dancing lessons, what type and when?

    I'm so glad you asked! Personally I subscribe to the theory that dancing is a pleasurable commotion for all ages and all juncture.

    By the way, our classes are familiarized in the direction of duos and we do not necessitate duos to spin.

    (Yup, this is actually lifted from one of our more entertaining spam posts.)

    Today's was pretty entertaining too, actually.
    In case you miss it - minus the buy-my-crap links, it reads like this:

    One day, his wife went to her husband danced before, so excited that he didn't know what to say for a moment, her husband thought she was going to dance with him, and together with his wife.
    Why are you so happy? The husband asked.
    Dear, I have a good news for you! His wife said.
    Good very! Just tell me what is the news! Husband road.
    She was no longer beating, breath, I'm pregnant! Her breathing tract.
    Husband burst with joy, arms around his wife kissing road: really!
    She speak with his mouth said: really, my dear! There are two.
    Husband asked in surprise: just pregnant and how do you know my arms are twins!
    It's easy, borrow money from gilian explains: I went to pharmacies to buy two bags of pregnancy detection tools, both packet inspection are positive!



    Do we have a linguist in the house, willing to try and pick out which language this is translated from? I mean... "tract"??

    I like it- it's kind of like free style verse, or eecummings haiku...

    I think that approaches spam greatness.

    Something like this..and newbie posts with links or pictures in the message are moderated too. They don't show up until an admin has approved it.
