[hibernate-dev] new generation of spambots in forums

Hello, since some months I've seen a raising rate of weird posts, like this one today: https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1001443 It looks like there's some clever bot agent, as the post makes _almost_ sense in the context but they always have a signature linking to some website as advertising They're not very frequent AFAIK, still annoying. I'm thinking the goal for such a bot is likely to rise the pagerank than to make real advertising, also considering they're not very frequent. It could make sense to ban links in posts, forcing people to write them as text. Sad. Sanne
