but don't see what difference that makes to knowing it's a bot or not and linking to a dodgey page.
the link goes to a .co.uk page without anything else in the link, like the stuff that would take you to product information or competition address. thats like telling you to go to amamzon.co.uk to find the info about some book your interested in.
but yeah, to see where any link goes, you don't actually need to click on it, just mouse over it to see the url link at the bottom left corner (in most browsers anyway) or right click and select properties to see where it wants to take you.
but anyway, could have been done by a real person, like i say, i'm not 100% sure it's a bot, but i am 99.9% sure

. either way, if it's a real person, you should ban em for making an account to advertise, but security to stop bots getting in, there's no such thing as enough security to stop them getting in. it's the same as virus's. there's always someone working to beat the security someone has setup. only a few ways to truely stop them and one is to ban all search engine bots, which is almost impossible to do plus it'll remove you from all search engines, which defeats the point of a community clan. the best way is to have a passworded forums, or you can't see the forums unless your an approved person on a userlist, both of which shouldn't be done cos we need ppl to have a way of leaving messages for us if need be.
the only 100% to stop a forum bot or advertisement spammer is to not have a forum at all, and well, thats out of the question tbh
anywayz, i'm not complaining about anything, i just found it amusing is all

. you guys are only trying to find excuses as to why you replied to it
