Invisible Spam?

For any questions, comments, problems or suggestions about anything on this website.

I've recently noticed many of the new members are spammers but they don't post spam. Is this a new trend of spammers or is the mod squad Kinda Ka fast in responding and deleting the threads I've never seen?

A lot of spammers just join and never post. Just by looking at there profile, most of the time you can tell its a spammer.

But why aren't they posting? I'm not complaining, I'm just baffled. They are trying to advertise, but a dormant username won't do much.

Lately at another forum, they have been posting lame jokes.

The spam bots register, but since we require e-mail validation they cannot post until the e-mail is validated. Since most aren't smart enough to use a e-mail system with the spam bot they just sit idle. Some do get through and will post, but there are very few of those.

I've seen a couple topics made by spammers. Both were about free "legal" mp3 downloading.

Deleting the spammers is a pain in the ass. I deleted 60 of them yesterday on my forum. Took forever. :roll:
