The Texas Holdem guy is probably promoting an online poker room with his link to his page. His affiliate ID can found on any of the affiliate links on his page.It’s probably not worth worrying about them spamming.

Isn’t comment span worthless anyway now that they have the no follow tag? Google says the pagerank of the site doesnot count towards the link and the anchor text will not count towards the link, so does the link even count at all? Most comment on blog sections now use the no follow tag.

[...] This weekend I was forced to do something that I’ve been dreading since creating the web site last year. In response to the increasingly annoying posts and messages from spammers I “locked down” the forum by turning off the ability to post as a guest. Don’t fret forum users, the forum is still there, ready for your reading, but it’s now necessary to be logged in as a registered user in order to post. What’s the big deal you might ask? In order to encourage the free flow of ideas and resources without the hassle of signing up for yet another web service, I had hoped to keep the forum completely open to unregistered users and the general public. Since many members of the general public can’t seem to be trusted in keeping their Texas-Hold’em and Cialis spam links to themselves, I’ve closed the forum to unregistered users in order to stop unsolicited, and in many cases inappropriate, posts.

LOL… I’m seeing a comment a day now, from some wannabe THEG trying to put a link on here. Too funny. Sorry Cheap Long Distance Guy, sorry Airline Tickets Guy…. you’re no THEG.

The THEG knows SitePoint slaps a rel=nofollow on every link, even if he doesn’t realize the spam comments will last mere minutes before they’re dumped anyway.

Right, so if we are dealing with a problem that has become notorious in the blogosphere, causing ‘millions’ of pages to link to wikipedia as a counter-attack. Why haven’t the companies that are benefitting from the spam (I mean the scum-bag mafia-run gambling game sites) been actioned? I am sure, no, I have faith Google by now is planning a general ban on gambling sites, no? Something like putting these scum bags under the wraps of a filter the same way adult sites are. If you are willing to find gambling sites then go to the rather user-unfriendly preferences and set Google to find gambling sites for you.

It is becoming ridiculous how organised crime is taking us all for idiots and just spoiling the party for us all.
