Spam posts/posters

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Recently a post was made to this thread:

http://www.mothering.com/discussions....php?t=1123477

Which is clearly only for the purpose of advertising. The members is a new member, the post in question (the very last post in the thread) was the member's only post on MDC and there is a link in the signature line.

Is this reportable behavior? I really, really do not like the idea that people could be joining MDC solely for the purpose of advertising. And did this person pay for a business membership in order to have the link in the signature line or is that something that has slipped in "illegally"?

In this case, the link the person posted didn't even have anything to do with the subject. The discussion was about "Muslim swimwear" and the subject of Australian Muslim swimsuits came up. My guess is that somehow the poster must have googled "Australian swimwear" to arrive at that thread. So the link posted was to something about Australian swimwear, but it was definitely NOT Muslim swimwear. So in addition to being spammy, it was totally unrelated to the topic.

That is spam. People do attempt to spam the forums pretty regularly.

If you see something like that please report it and the moderator will take care of it.

They are using an artificial signature, they just included a line and the link in their post so it looked like a sig.
