Search Tags

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/search.php (at the bottom)

It looks like someone got a couple bots to mass spam the search so they could have that link in the tags. I doubt anyone legitimately searches for that term so much that it drowns out every other thing searched for on these forums.

Screenshot:

Perhaps something should be done about links being spammed into the tags? It's not the only link in the tag list, but it seems to have destroyed the whole validity of scaling the sizes.

Edit: Maybe the code should be edited to test tags against a regular expression. If it contains a domain name then the tag will not be shown.

 

Looks like that domain belongs to a jimmy123, who banned a couple of months ago.

 

Its actually a tag in all of jimmy's posts. One tag, then it builds up in every thread that he meakes the word gets bigger and bigger.

 

Ah, I see. So those are based on tags instead of actual searches? I see. Looks like he ultimately kept some ground from all the spam0tags.

 

They're based on tags...if you go to http://forums.digitalpoint.com/search.php - On the bottom those are search tags.

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/tags.php - Those are user added tags.
