Newcomers forum has become a haven for low-quality linkbuilding techniques. This forum is well aged and has a lot of authority in the search engines - a link from this website to theirs will help their sites to rank better in Google. That is why they are doing it - they are not doing it in the hope of people clicking the links (although that's an additional bonus for them).
Mods are not removing these posts - or at least the links. Not sure why. Too many spammy links to low-quality websites will have a negative effect on the authority of this website in the rankings. That said, WG gave up on the forums a long time ago.
There are mods here!! Wow!
