| Sep 20, 2011 at 15:00 | comment | added | Randolf Richardson | That web site is plastered with advertisements, music, and a persistent pop-up bar the covers a big section of the top of the page. It looks like an attempt at copying SuperUser.com, but with advertising all over the place. I'm suspicious of spammers because their goal is usually to find a system to exploit so they can push their scams on to large audiences -- any user accounts that post spam should just be deleted to prevent them from gaining any useful points (just imagine a spammer with access to moderator tools!). | |

@MatthewRead that doesn't stop anyone using a URL search to find it. Edit: hmmm, stupid comment markdown doesn't parse the *'s properly, use http://superuser.com/search?q=url%3A*computersight.com* or search on SU for url:*computersight.com* and you'll see the point I was trying to make...

| Sep 19, 2011 at 21:41 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | Given that they're now spamming that URL a lot, I think replacing the one previous legitimate reference to it with a better article from a site that doesn't spam us would be appropriate. I asked Jeff in the related meta.so post to add the URL to the blacklist. | |
| Sep 19, 2011 at 19:48 | comment | added | slhck | Heh. Yes, I've seen that too while going spam-hunting! Maybe restrict it to the specific URL for the time being? | |

There was one valid mention of computersight.com, I proposed an edit to that answer to use [text](link) so that searching for computersight.com would no longer turn up that post. Hopefully preventing it from being removed by an overzealous reader of this post :P
