These are my observations, any more?

1. They never post in the Newcomers forum

2. They can't spell

3. They are generally off-topic for the forum they choose to post in

4. They start a new topic in somebody else's thread

5. They post 6 questions in 5 minutes, within 4 minutes of joining, and 3 minutes before they are ridiculed by their own 2-bit attempt at a post with not 1 ounce of sense.

Some don't give any indication they can program anything, at least geri has a talent (if you call it that), he tries to hack into things.

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.

Other than the massive n00b-like typos, those are some good examples.

This thread is funny. But do we really need to refer to a list to work out if someone is a spammer?
