Bill,

Okay, when I find spam, I look at:

1) Who is doing the spamming? Look at his/her profile and see where else they're posting. What's the motive behind the spam? Read a few of their prior posts and see if they're actively contributing to the thread or just cheerleading.

2) What threads are being spammed on? Is the content of the spammed post in any obvious way related to the thread? If not, what is the spammer's motive?

3) Who is s/he spamming to? Is it random, like to the last prior poster on the thread or is the spammer targeting a particular audience such as female aliases or obvious newcomers? If a particular group is being targeted, what is the spammer's motive?
