In the last hour there have been about 5 different new threads started by new posters just spamming, whats going on?

Why do spammers ever spam?

We're handling it as best we can, but there's no way to absolutely prevent it.  Rather, we have to see it, delete it, and ban the users.

Yup, i saw a lot of these threads. I tried tracing them and most of them originate from China or the Middle East

We've got a bunch.  Some from the UK, others from Russia.  It's obviously a coordinated effort, with many of the members registering several months ago and remaining dormant until today.

Link-building is a common technique to make your website appear higher in search engine results.

Are these sleeper cells confined to CsBlog specifically or SBNation in general?

My guess is that it's just our forum.  We're one of only a very small handful of sites on SBN that have forums, and maybe the only one running SMF.

Thanks for the info...also those sites can't be as much fun (stimulating) as ours without Forums.

That's my thought.  I like what we're doing on our front page, but I can't imagine this place without forums.

I tried searching other SB fan sites for forums to get a different look at a team but came up empty, I thought every team had one like this but this is truly unique. Hands down the best part of celticsblog imo

wow every thread is spam now , ****s .

[mgent]

I'm waiting for them to ironically hit this thread.

Spammers have no sense of humor.

This is it boys, this is war.


Guess I picked a hell of a day to stop sniffing glue.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

I havent eaten anything yet, I'll have some...

Wait, oh... that spam.

Im sorry mods that you have to deal with this.
