A question about : 'Weird' Postings

These crop up from time to time and they're usually random extracts from other webpages which have been machine-pasted here in order to build up a 'score' for the poster who can (eventually) then post spam links here.

I'm sure there are enough of us here who realise the situation and can just hit the spam button.

Adding comments (even what a load of spam ) to the thread might slow down the process of auto-deletion.

Worse still, hitting the thank you button (as some visitors seem to do without thinking title=Big ) might slow it down even more !

Best answers:

  • Interestingly, the posting about crushers that was there earlier this morning has been removed but a new version has now arrived. I'll be marking that as spam AND 'reporting it'
  • Second one (albeit from an allegedly different MSE newbie) was duly removed. Surprise, surprise, yet another posting in same vein has arrived this morning !
    Can we all have a quick look at it then (if you agree) hit the spam button. Pointless (& counter-productive ) adding a comment to that thread
  • Just seen another new thread sand making machine equipment... appear and be quickly zapped. I'll give them credit for persistence.
  • Speaking of persistence, whatever happened to the bargain kitchens? They made a concerted effort to bring this site down one morning I remember. I almost miss them...
