|
There is a new variant of spam making the rounds now. It's a variant of an old trick, where humans post (invariably as new users) some simple question about some service or product, and some other helpful newbie (usually from the same IP address) posts a reply recommending some kind of website, product or service. This is not very cleverly designed to look like an innocent exchange of information. It is, in fact, a marketing technique.
LittleBlackDog.com considers this to be unsolicited commerical advertising. This activity is contrary to our forum rules and any and all instances of this will result in an instant ban of the IP block originating the abuse, and possibly research and a trace of the originator.
Please remember to read the forum rules when you register or intend to post. |
