Great example:
Soft Strap Design

1. First post.
2.What is a "soft strap"? Do you know? Of course you don't. Maybe you will click on that link just to find out.
3. The Username makes no sense. OK, usernames don't have to make sense but doesn't that just seem like random characters thrown together?
4. In addition to that, the 'person' then signs the post: Karthick. Why? To make it seem human.
5. The link is not posted right. Almost as if it is automatically posted like that on multiple boards, only C-D doesn't like that format. Just post a link here with nothing special and they work.
6. Also re: that link, wouldn't a human try and fix that link once they noticed it didn't work after posting?
7. "I have compiled disassembly pictures and doubts".... huh? And doubts? Does that sound like even someone with a poor grasp of the 3nglish language would type out?

One or three of these things, ok maybe human... all of them together? No doubt.
