We do this for laughs. We take out the links.

I think the funniest one is the "half part baby" in the one for an interracial dating site. And most of these dating sites that advertise this way are phishing schemes. I also got a kick out of the poor mom who was worried about finding a pharmacy for her son in Brazil - couldn't add the age with the other years mentioned in the post, and of course, was looking for an online solution. THose are among the worst spammers. They are getting worse than the so called "E.D" posts promising men that little blue pills will make women scream in ecstasy

We then ban the spammers, and their ips. We then run a match on the server and if we keep coming up with spam, we block that server. Does not work for everyone, especially stateside, but it does for the most egregious offenders.

I get emails in the admin box all the time from spammers - "why was I banned". They are looking for a live response and they will not get it.

Generally the stuff posted in this section is poorly written by someone who is paid pennies a post to flood forums. You can find a lot of solicitations for that sort of work on Elance and Guru, and there are companies in India, China, and the Phillippines that are set up to do it.
