    Worst spam for me has unusual links in it usually with a message of "great site" "nice site" words like viagra, cialis, teen......

    Easily and quickly deleted.

    Beyond that, and actually visiting a site that ive not deleted so quickly, i wouldn't associate those ones i look at as spam, they end up being categorised as affiliate filled, too much or too little of something.

    What would you like to know regarding mods? do you have anything in mind or seen something already on a directory and want to know what mod does it?

    I basically want to know what a mod(its a bot right?) does? I have no clue about it.

    One more question I have men's health section in my directory and you know what sites go there so should I delete the section and the sites as well.Can that section affect my directory?

    IMHO I wouldn't delete it b/c what if someone submits a site that is about mens health such as prostate cancer or how steroids can damage the body etc........ where would they put it if you didn't have that category just delete the viagra male enhancement etc type sites

    If your referring to a mod for a web directory, it is a Modification to add one or more additional features to the directory.

    A bit like how wordpress has thousands of available plugins to add extra features to a blog.

    I got hundreds of spam submissions every day. You can check the ip address, and if many links are submitted from the same IP, then definitely it's spam. And also spam submissions will also have html code included in the description, and shall have similar titles.
