They do it because it works. They actually succeed in getting enough 'bites' from people to make an illegal profit$$$

Remember when the Nigerian scam first arrived....It was a great bolt of shock to hear some people that I knew, saying they were going to send money  8O

AExactly - the point of spamming is to throw out a net big enough to catch the few that are gullible.

It also used to increase a site's google rankings to have that many links out there. So their websites would score higher in google searches if their links were all over the place, even if it was repeated ninety times in a row. They've fixed that in the last couple of years, but people still do it.

Another bout of spam?

 

Goodness...

 

Why do we bother to flag them... they just keep coming...

 

I wish we knew if something was being put into place to keep this from happening...

All they have to do is have whoever designed this site to get off their lazy butts and put a captcha in where they have to sign up. It wouldn't sotp them completley but they wouldn't be able to have a bot do it, and the spammers would probably move on to a different site.

As there is no actual Proof of Humanity requirement, they may start threads.  It's even worse when they Join in to argue on peoples threads.

There are even links this time for AFL. I don't want to watch it here where it is free to air. I come in here to escape all the dang sport we are bombarded with , I don't want spam telling me about it too.

Never thought it could be a targeted attack..but that's an interesting point. Disgruntled former member? 

I think it just shows lax security ..going to make sure I don't have too much personal information on this site; clearly security is not a top priority here :sad:

Sorry Mimi, You can call me Chelle if you like. I was Chellescakes but I can't get back into the account and the password reset feature doesn't work. 

 

I chose the name because my Great Nephew calls me mimi. He came up with it himself.  If you ask him what Mimi does he says Mimi makes cakes. He also barrels in here every Saturday morning declaring , Mimi I NEED cake.  I better get going he will be here soon.
