I don't understand why we have been under attack for lack of a better term. This person that keeps coming here and posting their links to their forum is annoying and I wish there was a way we could stop them before they start. Not to mention I went and looked at their forum and they are posting our links, exact links, 24 hours or so after we post.
Is there anyway we can stop them?

Spammers are desperate for advertising and usually pick the best forums (asta) to attack with their spamming. Their actions on asta is enough to tell members what kind of people they are and that it is better to not associate with them or their site.
Many times the spammers are former asta members,who have been banned for not following rules.
Admin are always working on ways to improve asta against spammers.
Buy any software you will use longer than the trial

Sara pretty much summed it up. Good job on the explanation. These are not spiders but users who take the time to create an e-mail address and then manually make a profile on the board. The time it takes for us to address the problem is very minimal. Basically one click of a button. We can't be here all the time so when you see something out of the norm like advertising or a word that says spammer please report it so that it does not get overlooked. Right now with our forum associates do an outstanding job in using the report post function and it is appreciated. We have scripted some new features into the board and in the future we hope to implement.
Basically if a lamer has to come here and spam an underground forum to try to build up there membership they will not make it in the scene as we all try to communicate subversively about what is going on in other resources available in the underground and make it known who the lamers are.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I was just getting frustrated with them. I am totally commited to Asta and was iritated that not only did they spam our forums but they stole our links to use on their site. I always thought that people that had these forums, used their own links or had permission to use someone elses. These people definately did not have permission to use our links.
