Maybe Bizhat allows that spammers to do what they want, maybe they call them to do that dirty work for their benefit, but I don't know... Why Bizhat allows this, then?

The mods replyed me a message after 2 months... I don't know why too.

Maybe the answer is to get away from this service. It's a shame, really, this is a very good option for a free service, but if the mods don't say anything about this problems we don't have another choice.

Sorry.
There is a solution. They are posting their profiles in order to get search engine listings for their sites. They are using a bot program from the site botmaster.net.

If profiles were not set up until the accounts were approved, we could just select admin approval for all members and weed them out before they join. This would discourage them and put botmaster out of business.

Bizhat's solution was that 5 day 5 post before posting links, which irritates new members. The response from the spammers was to just post their links in their profiles, which are added to the boards member list before approval. These are still picked up by the search engines. Search engine rankings are partly determined by the number of links to your site from other sites.

Try to google any one of the links in these profiles and you will see what I am talking about. Some have hundreds and even thousands of listings in profiles on boards and blogs. These links give their sites good page rankings on the search engines.

Another solution would be for the search engines to ignore the profile pages on boards and blogs. This would also make searching a lot easier. I've noticed the past couple of months that a google search brings back a lot of profiles and needless crap posted for rankings.

Yes Virginia, there is a solution.
