Because that’s pretty cool if it figured out the right forum to introduce itself. Or, well, scary. It was in MPSIMS. I think this forum probably gets the most spam, but it’s hard to tell. ---

I’ve seen that version of spambot before. It’s actually a pre-production model that was leaked. So when a mod catches up with one… Bing-Beta-BAM! ---

> [@Bootis](#): > > How can they beat those captcha things? Well I gues I can’t figure out how they do most of what they do, but the captchas seem like a pretty tough thing for a non human to get by That’s progress :dubious:. Actually I often have to try a couple of times to guess the right characters in a CAPTCHA. Rest in peace, REENCUTTYLIET and may the Bing be with you. ---

You know what’s not effective at all? Those ads where somebody wants to find something and the person they’re talking to starts spewing out a lot of tangentially related stuff. It makes me think about how bad search engines used to be before GOOGLE. Then GOOGLE solved everything. ---

Well I gues I can’t figure out how they do most of what they do, but the captchas seem like a pretty tough thing for a non human to get by I’ve read in several articles that there are many, many real humans all over the world paid to leave message board and blog comment spam. You don’t have to be a bot to be annoying. ---

If he was spamming for _Steve_ Bing, the answer would probably be yes. That guy is a HUGE dick! > [@Covered\_In\_Bees](#): > > How many molotov cocktails have been thrown at your house since you became a spammer? If his house is in Russia, there may not be a noticeable difference. > [@](#): > > What percentage increase was this from your prespamming days? Ah, the age-old question: are spammers annoying, or do annoying people spam? Are spammers born, or made? The true answer is neither: they are grown in jars in the garage, so they have no social skills to speak of. ---
