I have to say that I've yet to see any spam here. I know what a good job is being done as I used to moderate on a solar forum. At times it'll come in huge waves and around Christmas/New Years is a popular time for the attacks or at least it was several years ago.
My hat's off to the mods here.
We're Catching allot of it while they are activating their accounts.
but allot depends on time of day as to whether they slip one or 2 in.
& yes it seems to Be in Waves.
From what I seen on Google.
There can be 5 or 6 of them Following each other around the
net signing up to the same forums one right after the other.
Or it could be 1 person with 5 or 6 separate names and country IP's
They come from all over the World, But post the same type of crap for streaming sports.
there also seems to be a Group Seeding, who sign up but don't activate till Later.
We have had that "Group Seeding" on the site I moderate on. When they join if they have no hits on the StopForumSpam site and aren't a obvious spammer they get accepted and then can lay idle for over a year before starting their BS!
Yes That's part of the Problem
I suppose we should Ban everyone who Signs up but doesn't Post,
But then we would be loosing members who Signed up , but just weren't ready to share

The spammers seem to post links as soon as they join.
I think members that sign up and then not post, read threads, learn.... gain info...Or are like me shy.
I have seen them use the tactic of joining and then posting a ton replies that seem bland and unrelated to the topic but aren't anything against the rules. Then at a later time they add their spam into a tagline.
