Can you believe this? Well it was only a matter of time if the host is not watching ...
Spammers are now creating forums to spam on so that they don't get their spam posts removed. As long as the links are up only a few days it is longer than forums who remove the links right away. And now forums such as netboards.org and messageforums.net are easy prey to them..
For example, lisactrytoo.messageforums.net was created by ctrytoo who is also the owner of ctrytoo.netboards.org who, on the first, made all the spam posts himself, and on the 2nd, it seems he allows others to spam as well.
So does this mean now a safe haven for spammers to spam?
Spam catchers can't do anything about these ones as only the admin can see IP's and complaining to the site host about the person (in this case, ctrytoo) they usually only just give the person a warning since there are technically no illegal action (no nudity or child porn or downloadable illegal software on the forums) in their eyes.
So now it seems, spammers have found a way to finally be free to spam and get search engines to be filled with their spam links.
The netboards on has been allowed to be spammed since Jan 08, 2010. So this is telling the spammers they are allowed and this is an approved method for them to spam without being stopped, banned, or blacklisted.
