To all spammers: we believe in legitimate advertising. For that, you must pay for advertising on this site. We do not support forum-post advertising, and we never will. Therefore, prepare for a poor WOT rating from many of the site's 34000 members.

To all readers: help us show spammers that they don't belong here. Teach them a lesson.

1. Install WOT (Web of Trust).
http://www.mywot.com/en/download
This service will allow you to rate websites based on their company integrity, privacy, child safety, and more. It can also trigger warnings on poor site ratings when you visit them. This community-based ratings tool will allow you to join 11 million+ people with over 27 million sites rated in their database. It's a browser add-on, it's awesome, and it's safe. It will help you identify and rate and comment on good sites (Like our site) or bad ones like the spammers below.


2. Give bad ratings to our spammers!

Decalskin:

-This site spams us on a constant basis. IP bans don't seem to affect it.
Phone number: 281-277-2626     (Feel free to leave them nasty messages about spamming, but don't harass them)

Chinagoshop:
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.chinagoshop.com
-Recent drive-by spam. Definitely scammers. Send an email to their provider, at tos@bluehost.com, and let them know that you are displeased by the conduct of one of their clients, and that their service should be removed.

3rdsoft:
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/3rdsoft.com
-Recent drive-by spam.

Crochetsusy

-Spammer trying to gain money from referrals.

Advertised with the following spammer:

Namosofts

Chinese spam.


Any more spammers from this forum can be listed here.


Thanks for fighting back! Put those spammers where they belong!

One thing I'm kind of confused about. In order for WOT to show the rating, you would have to click the link, right? Unless it can show the rating next to the link like in a google search.

Underlined section is correct. You can check or rate a site without actually visiting it, you just have to type it into WOT's address bar on their homepage. Also, as a browser addon, it shows the rating of any site you're on when it's up there by the address bar.

Sorry for double-post, but I also found their phone number (look above). Feel free to let them know that you're unhappy with their marketing practices.

I emailed bluehost about the website.

EDIT:
They replied back asking for a screenshot of the posts. I'm glad there's a moderation log in the admin panel.

EDIT2:
They responded again saying this:

Answered my own question. I just blocked 131072 IP addresses. Tired of the spam that comes from India/Pakistan almost daily. If you're in that range, tough luck.

Blocked .ru hostnames and email addresses due to multiple spammers from there a day. If this affects you, use a proxy or VPN.
