Laughing at forum spammers - this never gets old!
In the interest of full disclosure, I should first tell you that I'm easily amused.
That said, let's move on.
A lot of forums have a feature that is designed to stop offensive language. So if someone swears, you can have that word automatically changed to something like "darn gosh".
Awhile ago I set up some word replacements, but instead of searching for swear words, I had it search for common phrases used in forum spam, especially those selling mobile phones.
I had things like phone brand names replaced with "Stolen Goods", and "My mother's phone". A common phrase was also one explaining that they're fully legit.
Now I forgot about these for awhile, but someone just spammed my forum again. They started off with:

Like I said, I'm easily amused, and while I do find it pretty funny, it also has the side effect of warning my members that it's spam, and also hopefully also means that whoever was being paid to spam my forum isn't getting paid afterall.

cheers
