Your link doesn't work.

Most Spam Threads that appear you guys never see, The developers have a process in place that moderates any thread from a new member that has a link in it. That means a mod has to approve it and only mods.admins see it.

However is the post doesnt contain certain elements it makes it through, we nuke it as quick as possible

Keep reporting the posts and we will keep banning spammers

Nice.
But are new members allowed to have links in their sig?

I think JW is on it now......but normally yes. If you think it's spam, report the post and say you think it is. They'll look into.

But how do you know though? Some of it is pretty obvious, but people are getting more ingenious all the time.

This "ferret as pets" guy could be completely legit, but it's the wording and structure of his starting post that, to me, sends alarm "spam" bells. Maybe this guy isn't spamming in the truest sense of the word, but perhaps he is promoting a cause...and really has no interest in Blu-ray.com?

I thought we weren't allowed to have links in our signature of any kind except to this site..like your collection feature.

Look at the two posts he made
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...66&postcount=1
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...89&postcount=1
"with colors that I can stare at - which really is good to look at!"
What the hell? colors?
And the link is odd.
This should be turned into a spam detective thread

I had fun being a spam buster on this forum for a few weeks. A few members have been banned, thanks to my tips (and not just 1-and-done type of bans... these people were building up decent post counts).
