There are various ways to spot them. With this one, the standard of english and the spammy link were the obvious signs that would have made me bounce them but as a mod I've also got information to show that the post came from Pakistan which is a fairly common source of spam.Excuse my ignorance, but how do you spot non genuine new members? Is it purely from the somewhat garbled post? I'm not very computer savvy, so interested to find out.
You start to see patterns after a while and it's possible to pick out potential spammers from Russia or India just from the names they choose.
