I thought I'd already reported that bot, either the mods hadn't got around to removing it or didn't believe it was a bot... but it
is.
Here is a quick rundown of signs that will tell you an account is a bot.
1. They have yahoo, skype and ICQ all registered, nobody does this other than bots. The ICQ alone is a dead giveaway.
2. They registered within the last few months.
3. They posted once or twice, have a URL in their sig (links is a phishing attempt, page is infected with all kinds of nasty)
4. The content of the one or two posts they have is just word salad, with maybe a hint of the search terms that brought them to the thread.
5. No profile picture, this is also something they have in common. They went to all the trouble of making a sig, filling out all the contact info even the obsolete messenger services but couldn't be bothered to put in an avatar? Nah, that's a bot.
