                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys, yes it's always an issue with public forums. We have done a lot to stop bot spam but humans can get past this and create accounts and posts etc which means we have to rely on moderators to clean it up.</p>
<p>The general idea for the spammers is to piggy back on a reputable site by adding links to theirs in it, thus boosting their own sites SEO, normally a gambling site or some such. This is why a lot of forums go private, behind a paywall, as spammers rarely pay.</p>
<p>Pain in the arse.</p>]]></content:encoded>
