Specific methods can include hidden text, keyword stuffing, hidden links, mirrors and gateways, cloaking, code swapping, link spamming, referral log spamming, comment spamming, duplicate content, and so on. While I’m sure that some people have made big money using these methods, I believe it to be as immoral as theft.

I’ve been asked to moderate on a few other forums, but haven’t been as enthusiastic anywhere other than at my own forums and at Sitepoint.
