seems a little sketch to me to be creating external domains which would be competing with the main website. like having bar pintxo's menu on a .org with google places linked to it and being ranked #1 on google. i don't see many restaurant owners agreeing to that. its one thing to have the menu under a subdomain its quite another to be competing for the same traffic. seriously?

Check out SouthATL's posting history, and that of his twin mmmmmmmmmm. These accounts were created nearly a year ago and sat without any activity whatsoever until just now. This matches the pattern of aged accounts owned by brokers that are available on major social networking accounts for sale to PR reps who need to post from an account that appears to be other than a brand new one.

These posters will not be able to validate their identity.

This is as standard and common pattern these days which is identified fairly easily.

Or someone who just reads rather than posts
