How does spam even work on forums?

Are those bot accounts or are people's accounts taken over?

yeah. it's gone but how does it work?

i thought you had to confirm you are a real person before posting?
Spam
You can set up programs to deal with the "real person" tests.

Unless Swamper and the other Mods wanted to personally e-mail every single new account, it would be very hard to stop every bot in the system.

Also.

Anyone else notice tons of spam from people with Hotmail addresses? Looks like lots of accounts got hacked and they're being used to sell health pills.

Ye I've gotten those before. ing Viagra. Maybe I'd be a little more interested in opening them once I hit 60 (hopefully later than that). They try to trick you into opening their e-mails by using normal subject titles. The best thing to do is to mark them as phishing scam.
