OK, class, we’re a bit naughty today, so we’ll have a nice blog entry in the “tips ‘n twists” category. Advice in a bit more weird way …

I think it’s a good idea to start with an explanation about the inspiration of this awesome article you’re about to read. I was browsing 2 of my Martial Arts forums and had to validate some accounts. I had a free IPB license on them and this was the only way I could keep those awesome guys posting porn and Viagra at bay.

As you can imagine I am sick and tired of them and so far I have to personally validate each email account and try to see if there are spammers or real members.

After another pruning I got the idea for this article. Don’t think you can have issues only in forums that have admin activation. In some you might need help since you didn’t get the activation email or you didn’t know to check for it in the spam/junk folder of your online email account. Doh … Might happen too.

Here are some tricks to NEVER pass my activation. Hope they help and you’ll never use them (or .. do what you please :D)

1. Use a domain that’s well known for spamming. I would gladly recommend mail.ru, inbox.ru, cashette.com and other awesome and inspirational places that flood us daily with those superb members who just want us to get some good deals on porn movies or warez software.

2. If you’re gonna do this, do it right. No need to use a generic name. Please use a “keyword” rich one so that we can easily see what good brands you are using to promote yourself. I am thinking viagra_purchase@gmail.com or buy_tramadol@gmail.com or any other well thought email address. Why get something like john2006@gmail.com when you can really have such a nice and easy to remember email address?

3. If this name is not cool enough, then use another trick. Make me really see how cool you are by having a nice address like: dadfhshds@gmail.com or anything like this. Just write some random letters like jdzlfhauq4u5y and you’re the coolest. Doesn’t matter this screams to me “fake”, I must be the stupid one. Who cares this “screams” to me “spammer who didn’t even create an email address”, you know better.

On top of this you can try some “combinations” of these. A random name on a well known spam source domain, maybe the “tricky” words presented at point 2. Don’t forget to also try register for 20 times at least with different cool addresses like the one I already mentioned. I love people who really know what they want

Disclaimer: if I really need to mention this again .. don’t do this. My spammers use these “tricks” and they are deleted and the addresses banned. Hope this doesn’t teach some of these crappy people better ways to flood our boards. God I hate spammers. Good bye

Don’t go for free web hosting due to absence of adsl, as you will have to compromise on the domain name as well as marketing plans like pay per click.
