Rat Bastard Spammers

[StoneGold]

You know how every once in a while, some guy comes on supposedly plugging his crappy web comic? Some POS Indiana Jones/Lara Croft ripoff? It's all referral spam from some site called treasurehunters.com.


Rat bastard spammers, soiling the good name of shitty web comics.

Yeah, it's pretty lame.

By the way, would you like to buy some cell phones?

If that's the case, shouldn't Jonah be able to block that site?

Unfortunately, no.

That particular site seems to be more a host for a small (yet annoying) community that holds that belief that spamming is alright. They earn a commision of sorts for posting those things on forums such as CBR.

Therefore, it isn't the site which goes around posting spam - it is the people who visit that site. All we can do is delete those messages when they pop up.

I would, however, like one of these spamming sons of bitches to try to justify their actions - to try to explain why they think that posting such complete wastes of space is acceptable.

I was posting the evidence more so that we don't get duped next time this happens. Just because, as far as I know, the earlier threads weren't locked down or deleted or anything.


That, and I find this particular technique particularly deceptive.

If you see any of those threads, report them immediately. We will not abide having spam on these forums.

I just hate spamming web comicers. What we need are more webcomics about Spam the canned meat product.:)
