    Probably a program that creates profiles and posts on threads, not an actual dude. If it IS a dude- HA HA he gets NO love here,

    They just want the link to their web site posted

    Then the search engine bots occasionally go through and see them

    Then, their website will show up better in search engine results

    Yep, that's why when I see SEO in a profile, I automatically ban the person. Unfortunately I cannot do that here.

    Yeah – it took ages.

    > I automatically ban the person. Unfortunately I cannot do that here.
    Maybe not, but I can. That account is now banned.
    Sigh: I guess there will be others.

    Thanks for all the reports folks. They are seriously helpful.

    Cheers
