IKEA? Spamming?

Just had a new userid created on http://www.quattroforum.com, where I'm
an administrator.

Userid "IKEAGiftCenter" - with a URI of http://www.ikea.com/

Wouldn't have thought an international company like IKEA needed to
stoop quite this low.

Or it could be a competitor trying to give them a bad name ?

Or they outsourced web promotion.

There is a very interesting (although short) thread in aww - "Invoicing
Spammers - interesting results". Good reading

If it doesn't sound right, it probably isn't right.

What a name means to one user could mean something completely different to
another.

This seems like a great opportunity for an anagram. For all you know, IKEA
could represent the excessively boasting Online marketing team at www
IKickedEveryAss com/GiftCenter ( IKEA in this meaning being assumed
fictitious ).

As an administrator, you'd know if it was genuine or not.
And you'd know to give a useful URL, not your home page.

So who's spamming?

Read again. You probably don't run a board, without a captcha I get
almost daily new "users". I even get them with captcha, but less fast.

Just recently all with "mail.ru" email addresses. They used to be
mainly porn, but some carry URIs for halfway respectable companies.
IKEA is the biggest name yet.

As an Administrator you should keep that kind of information
private...not publish in forums like this one..
