Type 1: Cross Post Spammer
Unlike other forms of spammers, the Cross Post Spammer is soliciting responses, rather than products and services; however their posts can still be intrusive and frustrating nonetheless.
Type 2: The Community Member Spammer
Every now and again, a respected community member may post an incidental unsolicited ad for something they are involved in.
Type 3: The Classic Spammer
The classic spammer will be easy to spot and is the forum spammer that most are already familiar with. Typically, the classic spammer goes to a forum, registers, posts an unsolicited ad for a product.
Type 4: The Request for Help Spammer
A Request for Help Spammer will make a post to a forum seeking help, advice, or assistance.
Type 5: The Informational Spammer
The Informational Spammer will look for questions on a forum that they know how to answer, however instead of posting the solution outright, they will post the answer to their blog or website, and provide a link to the solution, rather than answering the question outright on for forum.
Type 6: The Recruitment Spammer
A Recruitment Spammer will own a thread of their own, which is usually either a new venture of a forum that has remained small after a period of poor performing promotions. They will make several posts a day to their own thread in order to draw attention to it.
Type 7: Thread Hijack Spammer
The Thread Hijack Spammer will methodically go through as many of the forum’s threads as humanly possible, in search of thread topics that even loosely relate to their fetish and post a remark that will hopefully bring attention to themselves.
Type 8: Serial Topic Spammer
The Serial Topic Spammer is an interesting sort. This type of spammer will have a list of prewritten forum posts saved to their computer, and register across dozens of different forums making the same exact post. Usually this consists of their signature file information which is displayed everytime they make a new thread or post.
Type 9: Group Spammer
Group Spammers might just be the most difficult to spot. The plan involves creating and establishing several usernames in a community, which may all be set up from the same person.
Type 10: Link Bait Spammer
The Link Bait Spammer is one of the sneakiest varieties. The link baiter post a link to some outrageous or inflammatory website and remark on how horrible the topic is. Infuriated readers will then often repost the link themselves on other forums or pass the link around to their friends and acquaintances to show them the offensive and insulting material.
