Is it me or does it seem like the forum is getting more & more people who join & then post what appears to be spam? (& it's usually from someone who has less than 10 to 25 posts...)
If so, the question also then becomes: Is there a way to combat it? Thanks.

Hi there Warmie! I tried to find those posts.... I don't see them any where, so maybe they were removed already.... I'm not sure....
Usually the format is something like they beat depression or are coping with it so much better & will post a web site link (to help us poor souls). The one I saw recently had something regarding .blogspot.com, I think.
The posts always look suspect/non-genuine/like a phishing scam/wants the web site to get hits because (a) the person never usually says anything about himself/herself; (b) it resembles the stuff with TerryTunes or whatever; (c) the person usually doesn't make another post ever or offer support; & (d) it happens usually with a new user who doesn't even have 5 to 10 posts.
It's like the person joined the site, just to post a web site link... It's sometimes a bit annoying. That's all... It almost comes off as rude, too.... It's like going on a McDonalds Forum & a new user comes on to post a link to direct every one to Subway. (No offense to the businesses)
I saw 2 like that recently.
