Stealth Spam?

Post by Robert_Moriyama »

I've noticed a few posts that are either completely generic ("I agree with (name of poster)".) or sort of related in a keyword kind of way (the "What is the meaning of a wedding cake?" post in the "huge cutlery" topic) that have hyperlinks at the bottom that go to commercial sites...

I don't know how one could block these, short of prohibiting the inclusion of any URLs in posts (which would kill quite a few of mine), so I guess we will just have to be careful about clicking on underlined text (Never take URLs from strangers, children!)
