And the posts in question have been deleted by the page's moderators.
Good job!
Unfortunately, given the nature of these spambots, they will be back. The moderators will have their work cut out for them.

The spammers have been on the Palo Alto Online forum for a while now. They seem to be promoting foreign websites (which are doubtlessly full of malware). I think the forums should just ban any posts with links to foreign websites.

The spambots are also on the Mountain View Voice page -- and that page now is literally nothing but their spam posts.
