Have you seen this site (http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com), Maurice? It
comes in handy when you can't help but repeat the cliche and it employs
humor so you don't come across looking like a tool.

On the subject of forum spam, here's something I've done in the past and it
had mixed, though mostly positive, results -- YMMV. The majority of these
spam posts are automated so the process relies on a program parsing the
form. It takes another level of sophistication to interpret the CSS
associated with the form. If you add an extra field to your form and give it
a class with "display: none;" your human users should never see it and the
majority of your automated spammers will fill it in.

Search for 'fsSih0 <a'?

As to how to prevent it are you telling me you don't know how to do that?

P.S. this has nothing to do with web enabling the AS/400

Subject: [WEB400] what is this

I get crap like this every so often on one of my web pages that has a
feedback form on it. This appears in the only input capable field on that
form and then its automatically emailed to me by the web page.





fsSih0 <a href="http://yzxmkniuwxzu.com/";>yzxmkniuwxzu</a>,
[url=http://miofcrjokpxi.com/]miofcrjokpxi[/url<http://miofcrjokpxi.com/%5Dmiofcrjokpxi%5B/url>
],
[link=http://ohhsnncjfayb.com/]ohhsnncjfayb[/link<http://ohhsnncjfayb.com/%5Dohhsnncjfayb%5B/link>],
http://oqghxpkktnag.com/





It's obviously an automatic process that is going out and filling this in
(at least I hope someone's not so bored that they'd waste time doing this
stuff) but I don't quite ken the whole thing.



Anyone know what this is/what or why this happens?



Thanks,



Shannon O'Donnell
