Tips for GC Spammers

[AlphaFrog]

Heck, we've got tips for newbies, PNMs, PNAMs, makeup, aspirants, purses, fashion...why not throw the spammers a little bone?

1. Use the default font. Anything else is a giveaway.

2. Use one link only. Any more looks excessive and desperate.

3. Bump threads less than 6 months old that have to do with your topic OR if you can't find one, bump an older thread with an innocuous post, and THEN come back later with a different username and post your spam. Yes, this will take a little more time and dedication, but you've obviously got time to burn, right??

4. Start a new username and rename your links every time you post. Shoes1901 telling us to go to www.shoes52345.com only works the first time (if at all).

5. DO NOT post your email address, as some of us have a tendency to retaliate. *whistles* Not naming names.

Come on people...help the spammers out! They're just doing their job!

if you are going to sell something, make it reasonable and useful?

Can we get this thread stuck to the top of important announcements?

I think if they are going to spam about creative works of art (i.e. websites) they should post links to websites that look different.... 'cause you know, that's creative and stuff. If you post different websites and they all look exactly alike with the exception of the color scheme, it doesn't show much versatility.

Keep your post short. The longer it is, the less likely I am to devote any of my already overtaxed attention span to it.

And along with the default font, use black text. Colors, especially bright colors, just get too hard to read.
