Money Driven Spammers, Ugh!

Oh oh, I feel a rant coming on, maybe sort of...

It seems that since the Warrior Forum is the largest and most popular of internet marketing forums, of course spammers arrive here in droves trying by any means possible, to get a link whether by spamvertising or by way of a signature link. Honestly, it annoys me to end. Oh, and that's not even mentioning the black hatters or trolls!

Then there is my beloved OT, where for some reason, flocks of spammers come and post in the cover of night, in the wee hours of the morning where they think they can fly under the radar. Ha! If they think they can get past the eyes of KimW (there's your name in print again Kim ), Kay, Thom, Jody, HeySal, myself and most of my friends here, then they're not only a spammer, but a stupid one at that!

Anyway, I had to take pause and try to figure out why exactly they do it. Some say it is because they read an e-book by some self proclaimed guru who told them to. I can hardly believe that is the case though, for if I read that in an e-book, I'd roll my eyes and think what a colossal idiot!

Sure they may go ahead and take that advice, but why? I, nor my IM friends certainly wouldn't! Well, I believe it's all about money, money, money, at all costs...people, values, morals and ethics be darned!

I'm sure I've shared my thoughts about money before, but I think it worth repeating in light of all of the spamming defiling our forum lately.

I have nothing against money at all. Everyone needs to earn money to live, plain and simple. Some strive to better themselves and/or make life better for their children, to help others less fortunate them themselves, etc. That's very commendable!

Money within itself is a neutral tool neither representing good or evil. But the motivating factor behind what we do to accumulate it and what we wish to accomplish with it does come from good or evil.

When one decides to value money more than anything else, giving it more worth than human life, and begins to covet it doing anything to get more with total disregard to right or wrong, turning their backs on their conscience because they are blinded by greed, then the evil they create abounds and spreads. It eats away at everything good just as leprosy eats away flesh.

In the real world, people have enough sense to avoid coming in contact with fellow human beings infested with flesh eating diseases, but not those diseased with soul destroying greed which quickly spreads as fast as a plague. We have the intelligence to put those infested with such diseases of the body in quarantine, to help protect the public, and impede its spreading and causing a killer epidemic. But do nothing of the kind to stop the silent spread and infestation of the very root of all things evil; the love of money.

However, here on the forum as member moderators, we have the power and ability to fight those with soul destroying greed and send a message to keep that soul destroying plague at bay. We can use our cursors as a mighty sword and just hit the red outlined report triangle when we see the diseased spammers trying to invade.

Warriors who rule currency rather than letting it rule us, let's unite and war against the malignant evil at the heart of spamming!

Oh crap! Over dramatic! Where's my Snickers bar? Haha! :p
