There were others (IIRC that tried to sell shoes), too, but seems they’ve been taken care of.

Hi tormod,
Thanks for you great help, it have been solved .
I was graduated from the university this year , new to work . There is a question i am confused. Why do there so many spammers ? Some spammers is for the purpose of advertisement , but what about others ? Some one just reply post that same as other guys have said .

Thanks in advance for your response.

It is always about advertisement. Usually they have links to product sites in their posts. These links can be hidden (or the spammers try to hide them) with the sole purpose to get higher ranking for the target sites in the search engines. Sometime these links don’t end up correctly in the post because the forum software does not accept the syntax (e.g. HTML tags) that the spammers include. Some spammers may also post a number of link-free posts to get around forum filters and gain “credibility” before they post advertisements. The ones copying some phrases from earlier posts in a thread are the most difficult to spot, a clever trick I must admit :slight_smile:

The Seeedstudio forum posts have a “Report this post” button ("!"), so everybody can help out spotting spam posts. But it requires that the forum moderators follow up and take action with it.
