New way of spam in Thinkdigit - Have a look

din · 29-04-2008, 11:59 AM

This is the new (innovative) way of spamming.

Please have a look at these threads.

Looking for a space to post jobs!!!

and

DVD backup software needed!!!

and

Isn't it Bad?

and

http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91353

and

http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91402

All these guys are same.

First the guy will post a question, then after 1-2 days later, he will make a new id and will start promoting a site / product

See, first I went wrong in the thread 1 and suggested something, thinking its genuine, in second thread, I guessed it and it was right.

Mods, please delete those two threads

This is just to warn other members and to stay away from such threads, but if it is not needed, feel free to delete this thread as well.

the green guys should delete these threads with spam!!

Faun · 29-04-2008, 12:08 PM

Nice investigation din... It should have been posted in tech news - "Spammers find new innovative ways to spam"

talkingcomet · 29-04-2008, 12:10 PM

yup we may hav to live with it..
may be not if the mods are super quick and delete these threads the moment they pops up!!!!

it_waaznt_me · 29-04-2008, 12:15 PM

I've not deleted the threads only removed the links as people have posted some comments which might be helpful for others. Banned four of these already .. Keep reporting if you find more. ..

ray|raven · 29-04-2008, 12:18 PM

@din,
Nice work there.

din · 29-04-2008, 12:19 PM

Batty, thanks a lot for the quick action.

Yes, I think we can keep the threads as other members can see how these *** use new ways to spam.

Cool G5 · 29-04-2008, 12:27 PM

Good work din.
Yesterday noticed your thread saying "Three exclamation remind me something", now I got what you meant by that.

Anyways can there me a dedicated sticky thread for posting links to Spam threads, so mods will be at ease deleting them?

Faun · 29-04-2008, 09:23 PM

^so wats the idea of reportin, it do get the mods attention

akshaykapoor_3 · 29-04-2008, 09:34 PM

@ din...

Your intelligence is really appreciated !!

Even i'm suspectin these posts from a long time. Infact they are active everywhere i.e on other Tech Forums as well !

At times reporting does not work. That's why a need for a dedicated thread.

adi007 · 29-04-2008, 10:20 PM

The spam mod creators are very innovative as well as idiots

If i were a spam mod creator i would have given an introduction post like hi i am ____ ..
then after one day i would have posted the spam not in different font...
I dunno why they use fonts... why not normal text....

Faun · 29-04-2008, 10:35 PM

^^yeah the mini dexter is getting some cruel ideas

Thats because they may be copy-pasting it esp from the MC wordpad file.

saqib_khan · 30-04-2008, 12:01 AM
