I'll have them completely removed or keep just the Help page . That I can do for you . But , if you would be interested to provide me a backlink to an URL (home or site-wide) I will give you I'm willing not only to stop spamming you but also to clean all unwanted spammy links form your wikis . I just can restore previous changes but I could do a sweep once a day . Get back to me . I know spamming is not pleasant but if you don't keep up you die :( My true opinion is that the one who created the wiki concept is the dumb-ass responsable for this and I would have never coded such a disaster .

However, I still don't appreciate you vandalizing the sites I run. It takes a large amount of my time to remove your spam, or it forces me to put increaingly onerous restrictions on the participation is what are supposed to be open and collaborative information resources. There are legitimit methods of marketing online — this is not one of them. I know my righteous indignation won't do much to deter you, but it just pisses me off that I spend more time cleaning up spam from my wikis, my blog comments, and my email than I do actually using any of them. Mister Dude,

Second , I appreciate your work on the wiki sites and I really hate it when I see them wiped out completely . It's easier and nicer to add then replace . (By the way ... I always remove other divs before adding mine) . I don't expect you to appreciate my effort . It's enough satisfaction for me the fact that I leave your pages intact ;) and that I'm a little better and than all the bad guyz ! The software ... I wrote it myself . And all wikis are handpicked , that's why only a few pages are edited . I have to say I appreciate your effort on writing about this . Cheers , and my mail is real . Feel free to contact me at any time . Take care . I’m really gald you appreciate my efforts .:) I use this techinque as everyone else does so if you don’t cheat you are nowhere .
