This is their real job beege:) Those links in the middle of this random text is the real point of the post. This stuff is a never ending issue for forums and blogs. There are steps to take (like forcing us to enter a random
capcha code in order to post) but you have to find the balance the ease of use for real users and safe guards to prevent SPAM posts like this. In the end stuff slips through just like SPAM messages in our e-mail inbox.
We can all help the presidency with their moderator role by reporting this type of post via the little yellow gear to the right of the original post where it says "Post Options". Select "Report Post" and then in the window that comes up you can simply type the worm SPAM. This notifies anyone with moderator rights that the post/thread is suspect and it can be reviewed and deleted/moved so that it isn't an issue. It is also helpful to find the other posts from this same type of user and see if they don't warrant being reported as well. In most cases these spammers will make several posts in a short period of time and then move on. The smartest ones will make a somewhat relevant post and then come modify it later with the SPAM links. Watch for these too.
