    Surely there is a way for all those technical web peeps in the MSE office to block these spammers before they even reach the freebie site?:confused:

    Such spam sites interrupt the flow of my searches for genuinely free things and it is frustrating to have the pages blocked with this pathetic form of spam.

    This US spam is more often than not a Bot. A PC that has sometimes innocently been taken over by a trojan which it then spams forums

    There is no full way to stop them they get round those letters/words that forums use to sign up to now. The best way is block known IP address that come from a country like US/China but there are ways round it
