Pagerank Forum Spam
I hate nothing more than showing up on a forum article by Turkish spammers about how to get backlinks. Clearly they’re well behind the times, as not only are all my blogs nofollow, but also I delete spam with vigour. The article in question (run through Google translate) says roughly:
5 ** 6 ** 6 PR 2 PR 10 Backlink PR4 and More

Yeah, no. Saying “thanks” and spamming your link is not enough you morons. Stop spamming. For those interested, the signatures in the logs vary, it’s not particularly easy to block this kind of spam, since human are submitting it manually. You could slowly start banning referrers from known sites:

It’s too bad that Wordpress plugin and theme authors appear to be specifically targeted, as we’re generally a very spam-hating crowd.

do you pro in make pr ? your website have pr 4
make your forum as a nofollow link this way they have nothing to do there, or if you want to help your members use a spam tool to prevent that. and if you can fight back
how do they do that, is it your own forum. and how can it help them when most of the forums are no follow links
It’s not *my* forum. It’s a forum linking to me, which encourages its members to spam me for links due to nice PR on a page. They don’t realize everything here is nofollow…
Why is nofollow if your a good blogger and you delete spam with vigour. Why not provide a good back link to someone worthy instead of blocking spam that you’ve already deleted?
