Strange Comment Spam

I’ve started getting a whole slew of new comment spam…problem is, I don’t really understand what the spamees are attempting to accomplish as they aren’t linking back to anything.  Here are a few instances:  link, link, link, link, link (ad nauseam)…there have been about 20 of these in the past day or so.  What’s the point of spamming if you’re not going to link back to anything?  Very annoying.  Anyways, have a great labor day everyone!

Last week I got a comment. It seemed to be a test post from spammers. Unfortunately spammers are coming to CS :(

What's the point in going to our community and add a referral to my log? I mean, it's FULLLLL of referrals to "poker-gaming.com" and many other sites like that. What's the point of that? Do they really think I start clicking all of these links when I look at my logs? Very strange. I get some spamming as well since a few days. They're all anonymous, so I can all delete them. Problem is a bug in CS with some infinite loop when deleting comments from the feedback page under settings.

It's not so you'll click them (no one ever does); they do it to try and increase their search engine ratings as in effect it looks like you're linking back to them. Mutliply this by the (possibly) thousands of times they do this, and you see what happens. This is why Google came out w/ the nofollow attribute for link tags. Post the exact steps for that CS bug and I'll get it filed w/ Telligent.
