New Kind of Spam

[gemhunter178]

There's a person who posted on the contest page, suggesting we move it to "new member welcome"? It is somewhat like spam, being obviously in the wrong place?
I don't know what to do, report it?

Thanks, yes that's a weird one. I moved it to the discussion thread and will keep an eye on the user for more posts. The slightest link to kitchens - ZAP!


Ugh, I was looking forward to getting caught up on posts with my work behind me, but I feel terrible.

I think it is finally "my turn".

Enter another troll...

That place is about 15 mins drive from where I live.

[Tony]

Got it, Thanks!

Another troll, at least it's not kitchen cabinets this time...

[DaveW]

How do what are obviously related firms keep getting through to the site?

[Peterthecactusguy]

Because they apparently can?

See what I mean ? lol

[DaveW]

It says that topic does not exist Peter?

If they are getting through though why are not many others, I am sure they are not the only ones trying?

There seem to be quite a few posts on the Web on preventing unwanted posters, but I am only a novice computer user so don't know how useful these are.

Thanks everyone! I deleted them but didnt reply here when I did so.
I dont have a lot of time to scan each and every post now, and it sounds like Daiv and Darryl are in the same boat.
Thanks to you guys I can pop in for a second and shoot down the trolls and make a clean get away.
Keep up the troll patrol.
I will let Daiv address the issue of prevention, Im just the guard.
