Title: Have these people got nothing better to do?
Post by: Buddy on 09 March, 2009, 11:21:22 AM
What's with all the fuckin spam!

Do these people think that by swamping a fanboy (and a few girls too) website with their junk we're gonna rush off and buy their product (whatever it is, I refuse to open the link).

They're just parasites and it is infuriating - I had a problem with spam on the comments of my blog. You just have to hope they'll f.o.a.d - a.s.a.p.

Failing that, we can always rely on the ever vigilant nature of our hard working mods to wipe this waste product from the boards!

Let's imagine setting up this spamming operation costs about £30 (time is money!). If it costs £20 to buy a pair of trainers wholesale and you can sell a pair online for £65, if you sell one pair of trainers you've made £15 profit. That's what it's all in aid of: selling one pair of trainers. They're trying to make a one-off easy profit of £15. That's if the trainers exist at all.

Perhaps they should try eBay?

It looks like a blatant rip-off. They even called the bot nike-con

Only someone very thick and skint is going to want some knock off nike.

Unless it's a nike/conserve hybrid.

I had a temporary problem with spammers on my blog but they didnt last very long which was inevitable.

Its looks like desperation to me and its no coincidence that all this started as soon as the economy started to derail.They are desperate for money which is why they post so many times.
