Do us all a favor, folks?

There's been rather a large rash of idiots posting here for link juice. You can recognize most of them by their short posts (they look like the people who used to post to get enough to run a scammy WSO), and their "distinctive" signature files.

Specifically, the sigs contain a few brief words or phrases of anchor text, designed to help with SE rankings. One very common example is:

moving in hyderabad
moving in mumbai
moving in new delhi

... with links on each search term. They can be any search terms, and they are not limited by the geographic location of the linked site.

The favor: If you spot these, please help us out and report them.

We're on a rat hunt.

PS: Yes, I posted this in the main forum. I'm posting it here as well, since the link-spammers seem to find this section more enticing than some others.

      I'm on it, Chief!

      Been on it for a while, actually...

      I'm glad to see an increased enforcement.

    I just found two in about 10 minutes. Have already issued a few reports.

      Thanks, folks. You've already got a nice handful of the bastiches gone.

      The goal, of course, is to make it obvious to these clowns that their efforts are better spent somewhere else. Preferably in a way that doesn't just shovel the problem onto another site...
