i call those who over half an hour mange to pepper a forum with just enough crap remarks to get a backlink... and then post a backlink spammers. And will continue to do so.
it is perfectly simple to post a your link without the 'www' and saves shitting all over the recent posts view.
it's the one thing that drives me to 'the other forum'.. which has a stricter door policy.
i propose a motion to have new members stay locked from posting links until a mod feels they are trusty and adjusts the users account, all at the mods discretion... life will be far better.
