Post A New Breed of Spammer
Be aware that I have seen a couple of instances of this recently in TLI.

The posts they make appear to make sense. That's because they are actually copies of another post in the same topic. You may have to look back a number of posts to find them but they are always there.

They always have some sort of advertising link and it is often within the post itself but it is set up so it looks like a signature.

They usually post in a number of different forums in a short space of time. The one I killed in TLI today had posts in five separate forums. The replies all made sense to the topics. Not surprising really since they were word for word copies of posts made by genuine members a few days ago.

Please be on the lookout and let us know if you spot one of them.
