It makes little sense to me either.

Especially when I block, and ban them. Whether they had made 1 post, or 100. A couple of clicks by me and their hours of spamming are deleted in less than 1 minute.

They were running wild mean Gene until I started banning IP blocks. That cut it down. Now I ban, and block most of them before they even can do their e-mail confirmation for sign up. However, they still try.

It seems like a pointless exercise when there are so many more effective ways to link bait, affiliate market, etc.
