user almo99 has a link to a business in the body of their post, not as a referral. Just kind of randomly stuck there- the rest of the post is on topic.

Second post is from "jackmcmahon", which looks normal but the sig line is a link to a website.

Not sure if its an issue

Thanks, got them. The sig-line commerce link is an issue and we bounce for that. Outright delete them. The problem comes when an eplayan does it, I can't touch a sig-line and they have to cooperate to remove the link. It escalates. It ain't fun like whacking panda shoes is fun.

If you're referring to what I think you are, that seems like a useful link to me.

Spammer until proven otherwise.

Mule, and all others, if reporting a single post in a thread, please include the username so the mods can spot it more quickly. Thank you.

iamobama again, and the original post is a business proposal. I don't know if it's legit spam or a wayward Burner who doesn't understand the rules

Got it, all six posts.

The OP is asking for an opinion, which is alright. A little odd, so I let them know that if they got their idea going, they couldn't peddle it here.

NOT an eplayan. IN fact, this uncovered three other identical sig-lines for four "users", all using the firstname initial numbers username format, same IP.

Dude, your mod powers suck. That's why you're not a mod.

Again, if the post is in the middle of the thread, toss in the username for us.

Thank you.

I was looking for the latest post, so missed that one.

Hope you're wrong about that since I'm starting a few forums.

If I was moderating I would be looking at the site very differently.
Just sending you what I notice.

Of course you do. I stand by my opinion, not that it matters to anyone but me. And you can do what you want on your own forums, that has no bearing to how the mods do things here.

Also... in case you missed, it, I was joking around. You're way too serious some mornings.
