I don't think we're actually dealing with spambots anymore.
A lot of spammers have realized its easier to stay one step ahead of anti-spam measures by paying someone in Russia/China/southeast Asia/other developing countries a few bucks a day to sit and manually enter everything.
Look at all the timestamps of the spam posts and threads; they are all usually late at night for North America and working hours in the countries listed above.
Only think of Gracious Professionalism as a standard to work toward personally. Never use it as a gauge to point out someone else’s shortcomings.
