Xrumer spammers are idiot spammers

November 17th, 2008

Honestly if you are a user of Xrumer for forum spamming then please try to use your brain a little.

I am completely ok with the numbers game that is forum spam and that you have to try to throw as much out as cheaply as possible on the knowledge that some will stick however please try at least and do some quality control.

When doing a mass run of link spamming I would suggest that investing the time in checking what has stuck is probably a good idea before you repeat the same run again. If nothing else it tells you whats working and whats not.

Honestly these are all fake Xrumer members looking to spam Affearners. You cant do it.. I dont approve you and even if I do the site is spam tollerant. You cant drop forum profile links, they dont count. You cant drop links in posts as it gets removed automatically by my scripting.

All you are doing is showing me you dont know what your doing

    I know some people are still dealing with this problem manually by banning the phony members. It’s just a waste of resources when you can spend 5 minutes and 10 lines of code on preventive measures as you’ve started in your post. I take a three prong approach that focuses on posting, profiles and proxies. Stop the proxies and you’re 75% of the way done.

    You’ve gotta admire those people who will join your forum, make the required number of posts to post a link and then get banned for spamming some junk.

About SEOidiot

Hi my name is Paul Madden and I am a UK SEO based in Lancashire, for years I have been cursed by the nickname SEOidiot which started life as a form of abuse from someone but you need to decide for yourself how accurate the term is.
