They do it for promoting their own businesses/websites. Mostly, to generate traffic to their sites and create backlinks from high rank websites (like CE).
Mostly the links are for the porn sites. If you spot a user with spam links in profile, please write to me or ash or maro

Its sad and inconvenient for CEans, but I also pity mods who have to go through this drill daily to protect CE.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Of course, they have been removed. But I'm not sure if 'all' of them have been removed. I still suspect 10-20 successful registrations by those spammers. Each account will need manual inspection.
They've given me sleepless nights and huge headache. But at least, CE is now spammer free. I haven't seen any spam-bot registration in last 36 hours.
If you spot any spammer, please inform us as soon as possible.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Don't we have filters/firewalls/antiviruses or anything else to avoid spams coming here ??Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -
Administrator • Oct 3, 2008
Well, we do! But everything gets cracked over the period of time. That's why we have anti-virus software on almost every other computer, but virues continue to exist and damage the stuff.
Its a life-long, never-ending battle, as far as I can see. I just hope we (the CEans) come up with something 'solid' to fight with the spammers.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -
