    there are 2 spammers on now (prob the same person) and I was wondering, why would someone go to the bother of signing up, posting, getting banned.

    They know they'll get banned so whats the point?

    i think the whole point of spam is that it's pointless...

    some people simply have nothing better to do with their time

    Must have no lives (says the guy with 1880 post count lol) its a lot of effort for nothing

    cause there's always one who'll click the link... is it not worth their while then I guess?

    what link?

    i understand flamers and Trolls, the what to wind people up, you can see then funny side like prank calls. But Spamming just seems like a waste of time

    like the spam you get in your email asking you to buy something, if they get one sale out of it, it's worth it.

    same principle here if they annoy one person then mission completed.

    I don't think they even bother people here, i'm curious more than bothered.

    But who exactly gets annoyed with it? You begin to wonder about the mental state of some of them.

    The more you spam, the bigger your penis is. Obviously.

    Well email spammers probably get paid, then again they are more like shills. I guess people have nothing better to do :)

    well i don't know anything about admining but if it was a ardous task to delete a lot of spam posts then i'd guess i'd get annoyed.
