Not only was there no need for a second post; you should have used the opportunity to delete your first, duplicate post as well.

No, you shouldn't have finished that post. If you're not reporting a previously unreported adspammer's member profile, you have NO REASON to post in this thread.

This is not a chat or discussion thread! Don't post anything here but reports.

If these were actual bots, your suggestion would make sense. They're not. These are being posted by human beings, mostly in India, Pakistan, and China, who are paid to place these ads on various forums for the purpose of improving search engine rankings. They take the time to go through the entire nation creation process, go to the forums, usually post 3 times, and never come back. (The callgirl idiots post as many times as they can before deletion, so we appreciate early notification.) Captchas won't stop a human being from creating a nation, but they do make it harder for everyone else.

What we do is try to make their efforts as ineffective as possible. We delete the ads, kill the nation, and block the IP. I don't know if we actually manage to beat out the legitimate indexing bots (you've seen them in the Online list - Google [Bot], Google Adsense [Bot], Bing [Bot], etc) but we try our best. At least they won't have any ongoing presence on our forums.

true. the logical conclusion of my reich would actually have been the deletion of every post that had the word "free" in it due to a hilarious error.

this one is pretty smart actually

e: woah that was so fast we didn't even have time to post it!!!

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

Adbot reports go here for future reference, it also helps to just link to the profile of the spammer.
