Showroom comments spam

[Bluefoot]

I have just found that one of the cars in my showroom has attracted some "spam" comments  -  links to what might be a car insurance website (I haven't tried it). Four of these were placed on the same model over a period of 8 seconds. 

Anyone else had this?

Yeah - I've noticed this happen a couple of times with casino type sites. Its an obvious thing for them to do, its not so much they want to get visitors from our site to their, its mainly down to the way search engines work, if a search engine finds a link to them on our site (ie a heavily hit popular site) it makes them look like a proper site, and that in turn gives them more weight in the search results which really increases their exposure.

 If anyone gets them don't add them, but don't delete them either, let me know and I'll check them for a pattern I can spot to use to block them in the future.

Cheers

I haven't deleted them yet Chris (not going to add!). They are on this one:

Can you access them or do I need to send you a copy?

Don.

Hey Chris, you've got another member with this problem.  It's on my boat.  Link:  http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...59&sid=2217  I received 5 or 6 responses from non-members within seconds of each other, most blank but two with the following information:  (The second by someone named Juliexxx I think??)

[Please don't post actual - dodgy looking URLS anywhere on the club - that just what these guys want. Email them to me Cheers Chris]

I deleted one of them but left this one for reference (It's not added yet to showroom).  Good post, I was afraid I might be the only one with this problem.

Best,

Kee
