The part about the whole spamming thing that to me is quite the interesting part, is that even though human labor is cheap, it's not free. Therefore, in order for forum spamming to be something that anyone does for any price (once you modulate out for cybergraffiti for its own sake), it must be profitable to do so. Somehow, spamming our forum with 200 Korean language spams is profitable. What is the mechanism by which it is profitable? Forget korean language, let's say they spam the forum with Viagra ads or what not in English. Surely, anyone in a forum like this (FreeNAS) is not about to click pharmaceutical spam. Literally, there is no profit surface. What, exactly, is the mechanism by which this kind of bullshit justifies the expense (no matter how modest) of the spammer? There must be some much, much bigger prize than the quasi-products the spammers spam about.
I mean, if the goal is some kind of phish, botnet install, or something, SURELY you can get ***MUCH*** better bang for your time by targeting some gamer forum, or some sewing circle, or church. Not a high-tech BSD-based NAS appliance forum. I mean seriously.
