Well he surly applies for #4. He started rapid firing posts from day one but hasn't slowed down.

It's not a "no links to products" rule. It's just a no spam links rule.

[Jim White]

Hot links! Getcher hot links here!

[FireMan]

Whatta you think? 😎

[big_mack]

Is this considered a violation of the rule "No links to products"?

[Huskee]

I got one of those notices Tuesday in the mail. It looked like a collection letter, the fonts were just right and the blue & pink shade on the paper. Actually got me to stop and read it thinking 'what did I do?'. Then I felt duped.

Glitchy I agree and I would like to prevent Trial Members from posting outside links too for the simple reason of not allowing spammers to spam....and I've brought it up years ago and I bring it up yearly. But it would take a bunch of code to make this possible unfortunately. I, not being a coder, would think it's as simple as unchecking a couple boxes, but alas, it isn't. So we squash the skeeters as they come.

Panhead John Yeah, the dumb one’s are obvious, but at 17,000 plus members a smart one might find interest here soon.

Seriously, how many people at AR have been infected by a spammer here at AR? Raise your hands! This isn’t really a problem for us here. All I’m saying is, these spammers are so obvious in their techniques, I’m not worried at all, our moderators are doing a great job of keeping them out. Next problem? Plant based meats. Please post that next.

Panhead John Go search the potato fields for me, I’ll be right where I am waiting for you. I’ll even throw on a bright pink hat to make it easier to find me.

[Panhead John]

Sorry, still disagree. And if you don’t change your mind, I’m gonna fly to Idaho and hit you with my walker.
