Why do idiots post spam on here so much?

Just like the idiot that posted the latest ones here in general discussions now. It's almost weekly that somebody posts porn links. What do they get out of doing that crap? I report every single one but it doesn't seem to matter at times.

I use to buy stuff off of people all the time and use to get some pretty good deals on line. But not anymore. Too many scammers.

Crazy stuff. I volunteered to keep an eye on it here as I was a moderator on Yak Angler a few years ago and that offer still stands. I'm very busy but check on this site several times a day and can put down the BAN HAMMER.

I moderate & Admin some FB groups, and forum sites and it's a constant battle removing the spammers & porn. 

I have no idea what they gain from posting it, but I presume they make money somehow.
