You must have seen plenty of spam thread titles like:

"Should my sister wear this?"

"Should I stop wearing sexy clothes?"

"I was molested on the subway."

.......

Not only on Giantbomb but Gaia, 2plus2, World of Tanks, etc.

And it must has a link directing to a product page of shopping mall inside each thread.

Who are the spammers?

Where are they from?

Why do they do that?

.......

Now I are going to uncover these things for you.

Is it weird that my first thought was that this thread must be the culmination of some elaborate ARG that has been going on for months?

Alternately, this thread made me think of Snow Crash or The Diamond Age, and that maybe all of these spam posts are evidence of some fiendish plot to take over cyberspace, and it's been right under our noses the whole time.

Anyway, godspeed, Jasontong. Do you have a man on the inside of whatever shady company pays people to make these spam posts?

They are pretty lazy and without any creativity, most of them are girls with ugly face. They only know to use google translator to change their nonsense Chinese words to English, then post on foreign forums.

You're a disgruntled employee, huh?

I guess this is better than jumping off a roof or something.

Yeah...well, cool story bro. Imma go have breakfest, then I'm gonna play some Fallout. And then, then I'll go out in the streets and start shooting at random people in fear of them being spammers. You know, help the cause, fight the good fight and stuff.

About pay (RMB): 0.1 yuan for a click from foreign ip address, 5% payback for selling goods from the his/her own links.

About their link: They all have their unique mark for the link, like: http://www.xxx.com?=www.giantbomb.com&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=name

xxx.com is their store

utm_source: where they post

utm_medium: forum or other place like facebook

utm_campaign: unique mark for counting their pay

They can see how much they get on Google Analytics.

They have their own "Resources" which are just some forums addresses they found by themselves. And other mates can't post their links on others "Resources", or the money they get on the forum would be given to the owners.

Following is just small part of the "Resources". The Chinese words on the above are names of the owners.

Let's review some classical spam posts we saw before, you must have seen one of them.

1.

Should my sister wear this?

My little sister is 16 years old. She insisted to wear super sexy lingerie.

"This place is for the link"

She also told me she wear it to date her boyfriend. Should I permit?

I found my little sister's amazing secret.

She told me she had some money I could borrow in her desk. I made a mistake and looked through her wardrobe, and found this.

"This place is for the link"

Should I tell her I saw it, and ask her where and when she wore it.

As long as it doesn't ruin my computer I don't see the harm in helping impoverished asian people survive in the world a click at a time. Blame the fucking internet business model of paying people just to view shit you know damn well they'll never buy. I mean, congrats to CBS getting giant bomb advertising, but its hard to believe jenny craig explicitly knows their paying of the chick from the loca sketches on madtv and countless banner ads are being spread to sites like GB that no one will ever follow through on.

Will I buy tween Chinese prom attire? No. Do they seem to mind? Nope, they'll deal out their pennies regardless. Win, win.

I do not blame those spam posts, I blame they just post non-creative threads without thinking, and use the same thread every time.

At least make some attractive post to avoid thread deleted.

the spam is an incredibly complex plot for world domination by the jews and the illuminati, who are now working together.

At least tell me where to teach you? I told you to add my skype, and you didn't.

How can you study Chinese well on the internet?
