No kidding, this guy didn't even send me some knock-off shoes before posting, and wasn't considerate enough to leave a link!

can someone explain to me how that happens? i mean, it seems to the untrained eye similar to spamming, but doesnt the spammer have to go through the trouble to sign up for an muscoop username and all that? seems like kind of a lot to do if you have another 250,000 spam messages to send today. and how do they find scoop in the first place? such a mystery to me.

I'm not sure how the programs are written, but I believe most of them are bots. Most of these forums are hosted on a larger, mass server. Something like vBulletin. My guess is that the program is set to seek out such sites and go through the profile creation menu. Most of them have pretty generic info, and often with the bots they'll just put something in to fill the field. I helped with an overseas site and when we got spambots, you would frequently see fields filled with "1".

That's why more and more, you see forums requiring you to input random characters, to prevent these bots from spamming them up. But it seems they do have some recognition software to these characters as well, because over the past couple years the phrases you have to type back are becoming more and more difficult to read.

Again, I don't know the details, but I'm guessing that most of the time it's just a program running that seeks out sites like this one, subscribes, responds to the dummy acceptance email, then starts posting pre-written linked content (other than this one, with no links). Once it posts 4-20 such threads, it goes to the next forum. Rinse, wash, repeat.
