I actually counted... aside from the Introductions thread randomly in the middle of everything, there are more than 100 spam threads before you scroll down to find a real one.
This is so frustrating! Not even because us regulars have to dig through it all, but because it's probably keeping away a lot of PNMs who are looking for valuable information and advice.
ETA: And now 200-300? Uggghhhhh

The best part is, I can see the spammers online right now and apparently nothing can be done to ban them? jijigobaba or whatever the F is busy posting up a storm. There must be a better way to screen out people.

I am not sure why the spam blockers aren't working. Now we have moviqqw posting the same stuff as jijgobaba. It seems all you have to do is change your user id and keep on posting.

Anyone know about PayPal's policies? That's what we had to use to pay. We all paid based on a deal that we would receive immediate technical support. That part of the deal/contract has been broken.

This is getting way too out of control and ridiculous. I would love to see some analytics showing how much legitimate traffic and postings have gone down lately. It's getting so that I don't want to even check in anymore or lurk.

Guess what Spammers? NO ONE is reading your posts or clicking on your links.
GO AWAY! This isn't the blog where you can make any money!

Seriously this ^^.
My question is what might be the motivation for a spammer to repeat the same (or similar) spam over and over? And why all the crazy nonsensical words? Im more likely to click on a link that looks legitimate and if there is only one of them.
The only thing I can think of is that they (the person or persons posting the spam) are paid by the post. Frankly, unless they are being paid per post, it seems like a waste of time and effort on the spammers part as they are not likely to get much or a return from mass posting.
